Big upgrade with stand alone transport???


Hi all,
If I was to look for a transport instead of a cd player i AM CURRENTLY USING A AMC CD6 into a theta dac with a Monarchy DIP...what would a transport offer ? Is it worth consideration>? Money is not a great friend of mine so this is an important question for me....thank you
for what it is worth I feel my budget would dictate $500
new or used....happy holidays

Is there something that you feel is missing with your current front end setup?
What digital cable are you using. That may be the first palce to start and maybe get rid of the DIP.

Happy Listening.
I feel some hash could be reduced, just not sure what a transport does...if it is a better signal becaue of less parts in the signal path and wanted to know if a stand alone would generally be an expected substantial improovment, I am using Cardass HEXLINK AND MODSQUAD wONDERLINK for the wire from transport and from the DIP
thanks for any ideas
