Is it time to upgrade

I just got new Martin Logan Vistas'and a new Music Hall a70.2 integrated amp and all sounds real good.
But I am using a old Denon 1600 DVD-AUDIO for my CD player'It has the brown burr dac but is quite old now.
Would a newer CD player such as the oppo 95 or the new Rega apollo improve on the old Denon 1600 or any suggestions on a real nice CD player.The $1000 range is my price point/Thanks Bob

i understand that romantic memory is, perhaps, unreliable.

however, i have yet to hear a speaker i would prefer over a pair of stacked quads.

i have a simple question:

are you satisfied with the performance of your stereo system ?

hi bobo7:

you asked a question , here is my answer:

from 1966 to 1973 i owned a stereo system which i prefrred to any i have heard thereafter.

the system in brief was the following:

speakers: 4 quad esl

amps: 4 quad tube mono blocks (2 pair of monos)

preamp: mcintosh c22

analog setup: thorens td 124 table, with ortofon arm and cartiridge.

i have heard thousands of stereo syetms since 1973.

none have given me the plasure when listing to music that the above stereo system did.

the point is that when you are very satisfied with what you here from your stereo system, upgrading is superfluous.
