For soundstaging, I think the most important components are the speakers and the room, and the positioning of speakers within the room. Next is probably the amplification (preamp + amp), and the associated SS vs tubes differences. The CDP will also play a role, but I cannot say to what extent compared to preamp + amp.
What is it that you don't like about your current situation?
I would advise trying to optimize the position of the speakers first, then consider some cost-effective room treatments, before blinding going about changing components.
Just my 2 cents.
