At this point, I think you should simply observe, evaluate, and enjoy the audible results of upgrading a mediocre standalone CD player with a high performance DAC, since it can be a great audiophile experience. I wouldn't be too concerned about anything more than selecting a high performance 75 ohm S/PDIF digital coaxial cable or a high performance digital optical cable in order to at least better optimize the interface between the CD player and the new DAC. Then, when funds become available, seek a high performance digital transport that's a good match with notable synergy when mated with the specific make/model DAC. In the meantime, enjoy the ride.
BTW, +1 for the Monarchy Audio DIP.
