I currently have a Sony scd-xa5400es, that I bought based on reviews, years ago. It has, and continues to serve me well. It sounds excellent! I have it connected to an ARC Pre and power amp.

I'm considering an upgrade. I'm also considering system synergy as a virtue. I'm thinking of going ARC for a CD player, but don't know where in the line I would need to start at in order for it to be an upgrade over my 5400.

as amazing as the 5400 is, I'm starting to want more. What are your thoughts? I would buy used. I wouldn't want to spend more than 3500. Would this tight budget deem this a waste of time?

I definitely agree with that, but can you list your system? You don't always have to go with the same brand to achieve synergy. Most of the time, choosing components that share common design features is all you need to do.
