Improve the sound of my CD Player?

I have a Marantz 67SE going to my Lexicon DC1, I’m using the digital out because the DC1 converts everything to digital anyway. From what I’ve read here, and other places, I should do other things first before getting a new transport. This is where I am looking for help, what can I do to improve the sound of my system – short of replacing the DC1, (don’t want to spend that kind of money yet). If I get an inexpensive DAC I assume I will have to have the analog output go to my amps (Monarchy Deluxe 100) because sending it to the DC1 will defeat the purpose of the DAC. If I do this I would guess the DAC would have to have a volume control. I do not have much experience with 2 channel so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil

Ljgj--have you used the Taddeo unit you mentioned?? I've been tempted to get one, but wonder if it really does anything. Thanks

Ljgj...thanks for your answer...one more question.. do you know what the difference is between the $99 taddeo on their web page and the $49 Acoustic Research "TDS" device for sale at audio advisor?

Ljgj--Acoustic Research,,,not Audio Research, but thanks--and I think I am confused--I figured TDS and Taddeo were the same company or process, but you distinguish between the two. So it was the Acoustic Research TDS unit at Audio Advisor that I was asking you about and if I am getting this right (I hope!) you are saying TDS and Taddeo are not the same thing, and Taddeo is good (basically) and TDS is a mixed bag. Thanks for the clarification and saving me a mistaken purchase!
