Sony XA5400Es CD Player DAC Upgrade?


I was wondering if using an outboard DAC with my Sony CD player would improve the sound?

It sounds good now, but I am curious if anyone has used other DACs to improve the sound. 

I use it in a bedroom headphone system. The music goes from the Sony player to a Woo WA22 headphone amp.

I haven't looked into Mytek yet. have several SACDs but listen mostly to Redbook. 

BTW, if I add a DAC the price range would be south of $1,000.(used or new)
One thing I should mention is that I use balanced XLR to the Woo amp.

I would  also like to have a headphone output to contrast SS vs Tube.
