Upgrade Source?

My system consiosts of Harbeth Super HL5 speakers, Pathos MKII Classic integrated and denon DVD 291o for source. With both the speakers and the integrated I noticed huge improvement( from Klipsch Heresy and Creek 5350Se). Now I am thinking about source upgrade and wondering if I will see the same noticeable improvement.

I would like a player for both SACD and Redbook but don't care to connect to my video. I have read about Ayre C5xe, Cary 306 SACD, and some modded Denon players. I am fairly new to the audiophile thing and would appreciate your advice.

Modwright Sony 999, or 9000 (if you don't mind not playing CD-r/rw), each with full mods go for around $1600-2k used. Highly recommended. Dan's Sony 9100 would also be worth considering, if budget is not of concern, as would APL Denon 3910.
