Will a new Dac improve the sound?

Totally depends on what kind improvements you’re looking for. 

It might. Or not. Only you can determine if it is worth the journey.

Happy trails.

if you want a serious, semi-informed answer from the rest of us here, you need to say alot more...

posed as it is, it is like asking, in general, will my food taste better if i add salt?

impossible to answer...

 I have the Cary CDP1 , Acoustat amp Trans nova Twin 200, Acoustat pre Trans Nova, and an older Pioneer TT. Being rather new to the Acoustats , i guess i'm wondering what would be a good fit to bring out the best sound possible with a digital source.

I just came out the other end of what you're asking. I used players as transports, the best was the Pioneer PD65, but it was quite old and the only output was toslink, a low resolution data transfer medium. When it died I replaced it with a Marantz HD CD-1 to use as a transport, but, have as a back up player. It too died. Ultimately a CD players transport will not live up to even a relatively inexpensive Audiolab CDT 6000, which I bought and am shocked at how good it is even though the MSRP is "ONLY" $600 (Audio Advisor). There's a GREAT written review on line where he used very inexpensive dacs and worked his way up to ~ $2500 dacs. Each upgrade was readily heard, SO, you could get it, and start with a dac you can afford and work your way up
