Hi,
I am pleased and impressed by the excellent responses, all of them are very useful. Here's where I am so far.

First I just intend to try a good DAC on approval, using the existing CD player's digital out, and see if I can just relax, hear the differences, and enjoy the music just as Duster suggests.

If I love it, then there's the matter of a transport (so I can trade in the existing CD player). I'm very tempted to get a current model Sony DVD player eg DVP-SR760H as it's only £30 ($50) new, and Sony DVD players seem to be rated fairly well as transports. I guess this may be less risky than an unknown CD player?

I may then try a Shigaclone, as I'm into DIY. It'll take me a while as I'm busy.

A jitter buster of some form will then go on my list for when funds allow.

John Elison's suggestions are noted! I know little about downloads, music servers etc but I'll go there in due course. In planning how I do it, I will be sure to include John's solution.

The first step is to see if I like the DAC in question; but if I do, I'm happier now about going ahead.
