Used DAC or Used CD Player???

Any recommendations on whether to spend about $1500 on a used DAC such as Levinson 36, or just buy a used player like Rega Jupiter--or something like this?

My current player is a marantz cd-63SE, so this would be the transport. Amp is MF A3cr, Preamp is classe cp-35, speakers are platinum solos

I bought a used Theta DS Pro here for $250 and its pretty awesome. Digital gear can be had for 10 - 25% of retail in many cases so you can buy some things used and experiment and generally not lose any money. Good luck.

I also have the MF A3cr and tried alot of DACS before finding the Muse 296. It runs $1250-$1500 used, but is absolutely wonderful.

Go with the used DAC. I just purchased a Theta Pro Gen 5a
for $1,300, and it was worth every penny.
