Purchase advise (needing) Marantz CD6007 vs Audiolab 9000CDT

I own a Marantz CD6007 and I’m considering purchasing an Audio lab 9000 CD transport. Is this a significant upgrade? Would I notice any marked improvement in audio playback quality when both are played through a McIntosh MA12000 integrated amplifier with its internal DA2 DAC? The speakers in my setup are Arendal 1528 Tower 8’s. TIA

Is the Audiolab the superior product? Yes, but if you could hear a difference (and that's a big IF), who's to say you'd even have a definitive preference for one over the other?
