Would an SACD Player improve my sound?

I currently have a pair of Quad electrostatics with Thor
TPA 150 amps, Thor linestage with a Blue Note Stibbert Improved cd player, and a Cary 306/200 which I use as a transport with a Thor Audio Dac. I have about 20 SACD titles.(currently listen to the cd layer)

Question:Would I get more resolution and better sound with a SACD with a maximum of $2000.00, perhaps a SOny SACD ES- 5400, than what I currently listen to. In short, will a
fairly good SACD player give me better sound (on the theory that there is more information on an SACD vs. a CD)
than a high quality CD player than I currently have?
I am willing ot take a shot at a purchase if an improved listening experience occurs.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Very nice system. I have the Cary 306 SACD and yes SACD's sound better - much better. Try to find a 306 used for $2500 or so. Great SACD player!!

Bigger improvement then any cable or cap to be frank. The 306 is an awesome player and in the Cary line you already like.
