Upgrade CD, New CD or Universal Player?

I have an ARCAM CD72 and a Marantz 6005 AVR driving it. Got new B&W 683's but do not hear a huge difference when playing CD's. Is it better to upgrade the CD72, get a new CD player or go with a universal player? I have read good things about the OPPO BDP 95 (we have a BDP 93 for home cinema). Thanks for advice.

I had an Arcam AVR100 but it developed a buzz I could not resolve. What if I added a nice amp (was looking at the Parasound A52)- would that improve sound or would it just magnify the Marantz?

Being a novice, if I dump the AVR I need a pre-amp and amp, right? I have a 5.1 speaker system. Guess I could spend another $1500-$2000 if I had to.

FYI, I appreciate the advice. Going with an Integra 40.2 for the pre-amp, and a Parasound A52 for amp. Got a deal on both.
