Well your older CD player is most assuredly surpassed by newer digital products. But even before I would suggest spending money there I would look at optomizing your room and system setup.
There's plenty of threads here, at Audio Asyulum and at Audio Circle that talk about room treatments and such. It's the biggest bang for the dollar that you can make, and just sets up everything else in the system. So when you do take the plunge and upgrade something you will know that everything else is as perfect as you can make it, and then you will truly appreciate how the new piece fits into the system as a whole.
Enjoy,
Bob
