Danny you still seem set on the idea that $$ equals quality. It does not.
(e.g. a more expensive cd player than the one that you have will be better just because it costs more therefore it must SOMEHOW have better parts, or better processing or better....is simply not always true...anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something or are themselves blinded by this fallacy). I would bring up another example of the cable types and costs vs. sound "improvements" but we've beaten that horse to death already.
Spending more MAY get you better equipment and it may not. Buying any item that is not the same model that you have right now MAY sound better but only YOU could hold an opinion on that.
The only thing i could say with a reasonable amount of confidence is that a different cd player than what you have MAY sound different, but not necessarily better.
You can get alot of other people's opinions on what equipment they think sounds better than others but ultimately your equipment, listening room and listening preferences are unique to you. Therefore, someone else's opinion of a particular piece of equipment sounding better may not be valid for your circumstances.
Audition audition audition. Take the other cd players home and try them for yourself and only that will truly answer your questions.
