Digital and difference in DACs

OK. I've acquired a lot of new CDs lately as general population seems to be dumping what they have in favor of online music services.

I've noticed that new CDs sound really good on my new DAC. So, I am ready to weed out older CDs whose sound I don't like. Well, I insert my old CD player output in the stream instead and it sounds OK with the older CDs!

Just got me to wondering how that I use to, in the 80's, enjoy CDs on a SONY 507ES, for instance, a early multi-bit DAC. Whereas, my current CD player, the pulse stream XA7ES, I am now using for late 80s recorded music.

My current DAC is nothing special, but it is current and appears to be leaner, with much better timing retrieval than the SONY, so I always prefer this with CDs made in the late 90's and 00's, for instance.

So, one needs a bevy of CD players, DACs to enjoy the music? No?
