Sticking with CD's for now

Could anyone offer some help with my interest in adding an outboard DAC to my current Ayre CX7e MP digital player.
DAC would need to have aes/ebu input capability to consider it.
Trying to find improved sound via CD player for the time being with future options the DAC can provide to be considered.
Any direct experience with opinions and options would be appreciated. Price range $2000 vacinity new or used.

If you want transparent:

I used to have a Mytek Manhatten I which I am pretty sure had AES/EBU

I would look at the Brooklyn to see if it has that input, and if so that is what I would get

The op CD player cost $2950 back in the day.I am sorry but I think trying to buy a DAC to better it for LESS THAN $2000 is not gonna make it. But if you went up to a Schiit Yggdrasil. $2399. might do the job.
