Rossini vs Ayre Upgrade

Looking to buy a Rossini Player with clock.

Currently have an Ayre C-5xeMP & QB-9.  Can't hear any difference between the two, but I rip using AIF.
Planning to get rid of the PC and run Mosaic in the Rossini?I plan to connect my 2TB SSD to Rossini, use Mosaic to play tracks, and look at streaming later.
Not able to audition the Rossini.  Will I hear a dramatic differnce upgrading from Ayre to Rossini?Is the Rossini CD Player the same high quality sound as the Rossini DAC?

Thoughts?

I can’t imagine you listening to both and not coming away with a strong personal preference.

@erik_squires "not coming away with a preference"

... in what ways? how will they be different?

Thank you.

Erik, thanks for clarifying. Darn, I was hoping for an answer as I've been evaluating the Rossini. : )

@yyzsantabarbara  I've evaluated the Rossini twice but not within my own system. Once at a dealer and once in a home system. No plans on changing from the Terminator (which is fantastic) unless it is something incredibly special.
