Question About DACs


My CDP runs an internal Burr-Brown 24-bit DAC, and a Crystal Semiconductor CS8420 sample-rate converter chip that upsamples the CD data to 96kHz. It’s an older CDP obviously, but are the newer external multibit DACs, such as the Schiit Gumby and Bitfrost, far superior to what I have now? Or, would any improvement be a slight one? Thanks.

Might look at a NAD C658. Network Streamer and DAC. Newly released. When they release the next software revision, it will include room correction software (DIRAC). I have one and stream MQAs from Tidal and my library on network shares. So far so good.
