Will a new Dac improve the sound?

I have an older CD player( Cary CDP1) . It sounds good ,but would a new or used Dac in the line improve the sound? Looking at Dacs in the $600 - $1200 range. I know the other equipment would also matter in the outcome, but as a general question......do you think this would be an upgrade to the sound? Or should i go another route?

Some well reviewed “newer” dacs blow $1k that have really broken through in terms of excellent tone, stage, and detail:

Topping D70s (I’m using this one and am astonished at how good it sounds)
