Tried CD player Cary 300/300 and LOVED it, now what?


I want to move up the chain. 
Hi all, I’ve this Cary CD 300/300 for 3 years now and love it to death. I enjoy its warmness, smoothness, airy and nice touch of detail. It plays nicely with almost any power cords and ICs I throw at it. 
 Please suggest which other Cary CD players or other brands would consider as better? Ayre cx7e been on my list for years...
i listen to instrumental classical jazz vocals strings and a bit of percussion
thank you all and happy listening

"....Where once I wondered whether the Rega pieces could keep up with established, pedigreed leaders in their class, I now find myself asking whether competitors can in fact keep up with the Isis and Osiris. They really are that good...."


Buy CD transport without inner DAC one of CEC or Simaudio models and connect it to a DAC ,The improvement will be much much better ,Don’t use the stock cables good coax and power cords are a must .
Ok let’s establish a budget.  Then how about a list of the dacs that you’ve tried with the Cary as a transport.  Did you like any of them in specific areas vs the Cary?  So, it sounds like nothing you’ve tried so far has wowed you enough to abandon the Cary.  Am I correct?

How about listing your system and listening space so others have a sense of a candidate to match your system?

If you can swing 1200.00 dollars and want to push the envelope into something that is musically satisfying and will broaden your horizons, then I highly recommend the Bluesound Vault 2.  Copy all your cds to the internal hard drive.  No more fetching and loading discs. Now you have access to internet radio like my favorite Radio Paradise.  A subscription to Tidal is less than the price of one cd per month and you have access to music you never dreamed of.  Think about that.  Does that sound enticing?
@rhljazz thanks and here’s the list and all were purchased used, pre-owned from eBay or Agon.
I have tried diff digital cables entry level Toslink and coaxial from Audioquest, $30 each. Diff entry level DAC’s like Music Hall 25.3, $350, Cambridge Dac Magic Plus, $300 and and lastly, the Peachtree Dac iTx, $220 which matches best with my Cary Cdp and I love it. Speaker cables are Harmonic Tech Pro-11 Plus, $350 and Audioquest K2, $2000 (I know, I know) both biwired to a pair of bookshelf Tannoy Definition DC8, $2000
My Cary Cdp, $1100 is fed with Synergistic Reseach power cord, $450 and interconnect, $250
i also have Cdp Bryston BCD-1, $1500 sparing side by side with diff brands cords and cables...
So, because I really like the Cary Cdp, to keep it, Should I investing more on a expensive DAC?
Soft sweet lust musical with light touch of micro details are my fav. Excellent Dynamic sharp and attacking then come last. 
Thank you

how does the Bryston BCD-1 sound w/ the SR cabling compared to the Cary?  These (2) players are close in cost when new ($2500).
Happy Listening!
