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.

If you want transparent:

  • Benchmark DAC3 L 
  • Chord Qutest

You are the one who stated my recommendations weren’t up to par for the CD player in question, based off price alone; then you go on to recommend a DAC that has 16x the noise+distortion.

If you can find any area where the two DACs I mentioned fall short, I’d love to hear it. I’d appreciate real descriptions and not “lacks breath”.
