Para may CDP pa rin sana.
Depends on how old that CDP is. Kung more than 10 years old, I'm willing to bet it can be beaten by a DAC in the class of a Rega DAC or a Musical Fidelity DAC. Just get the Krell and use it as a transport, kung may digital out.
Why not try digitizing your file and streaming it? There is a growing consensus that lossless files streamed to a DAC sound better vs the conventional CD playback. I'm a recent convert, and I'm in the process of ripping my CD collection into Apple Lossless and storing my CD collection. I only have a DVD player now, which barely sees a CD.
