Sticking with CD's for now

Could anyone offer some help with my interest in adding an outboard DAC to my current Ayre CX7e MP digital player.
DAC would need to have aes/ebu input capability to consider it.
Trying to find improved sound via CD player for the time being with future options the DAC can provide to be considered.
Any direct experience with opinions and options would be appreciated. Price range $2000 vacinity new or used.

Good combos are:

Transport -> Synchro-Mesh -> Reference BNC cable -> Metrum

Transport -> Synchro-Mesh -> Reference BNC cable -> Border Patrol

I would avoid any DAC that has reclocking inside on the S/PDIF input.

These will both realize the benefits of 7psec of jitter.  Customers that have these are extremely happy.

This will be your cheapest option, unless you can find one used on Audiogon:
