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

I at one time owned the Cary SACD Pro and though I liked the sound there were too many problems with it. 

Today I own the PS Audio Direct Stream Transport and Dac and I couldn't be happier.

I’m the OP and happy to report my finding.

@jafant YES, I bought a preowned Ayre cx7 and, instantly, it murdered both of my Bryston bcd-1 and Cary cd300/300. The Ayre was a made in heaven. A God sent. Full of synergy and very “vinyl” sounding. (I have not tried the Ayre with a DAC yet.)
The Bryston bcd-1 was quickly went back in its original box and seated aside- It was no comparison. Hint, I will sale it soon. (Silver color with all originals if anyone interested to give it a new home.)

Without the DAC, the Cary cd300/300 was dull and congest against the Ayre cx7 but with a DAC ($250 Peachtree iT-x) the Cary was 3 times better; dynamic, nicely detailed, musical and sweet and I think I’d love it dearly but sorry the Ayre was clearly on a diff level. Hint, I will too prob put the Cary up for sale in couple months. (Black color with all originals)
Happy listening.
