+1 for nDAC between the CD5XS and SN2. In your position, this would probably give the biggest improvement in SQ with very reasonable budget. Used nDAC's are widely available.

It's Christmas time. We should live in consensus: so why not try the CDX2 feeding an nDac?

I've tried it, even with nDAC powered by 555PS. And I actually prefer CDX2 + 555PS running in an analogue mode.
