What @jond said. The DAC in the Node 2 is pretty good all by it's self but certainly can be bested if you want to spend the money. I've not heard your CDP but no doubt it can also be bested with an external DAC. I would recommend becoming very familiar with the sound quality of your newly acquired Node 2 (?) before acquiring a new DAC, you might be pleasantly surprised. I purchased my Node 2 back in April btw .. love it. Enjoy.
