I just wanted to add my two cents worth; as I also use the Music Hall MMF CD-25 in my system. My set-up pairs McIntosh electronics with Thiel 3.5 speakers.
I'm really glad that the power cord upgrade was mentioned above; as I will give it a try soon and see if it makes an improvement.
Mainly what I wanted to say, was that I got a "loaner" of a friend's Theta Miles while he was out of town - and the overall improvement over the Music Hall was subtle but very real. So your desire to get a better source may be well founded.
As I'm also looking to eventually upgrade my two of my sources - tuner and CD - I would start with the power cord upgrade; and see how it goes. And if there was not enough of an improvement - I would start looking at my CD options again. Good luck and happy listening.
