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 have an Ayre QX-5/twenty and I think it sounds great.

Ayre also has an upgrade program now for the QB-9 if that is of interest for you to check in to.

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.
