quick response,
I use a roksan caspian cdp very nice but quite too smooth for my taste and wanted more liveliness out of the music minus any edginess/brightness which the roksan does not have anyway.
The result is quite wonderful and that is with just a DAC sigma I.
Results will also depend on your cdp transport quality but my experience is more than I could have expected from a older dac for $200 invested.
Try first with the cheap sigma see how much of a difference it makes in your system if it does not work then maybe you would need to consider upgrading your cdp instead as my set up does work superbly.
good luck!
