The 8700 looks like a stable platter so keep it.
How about a DAC as Jerry says
Nice upgrade on my Pioneer going to a Beresford.
Another upgrade with battery or other power supplies.
Starting at the front if you don't already :
Unswitched socket, decent power block, decent mains cables, interconnects, supports like RDC cones are good VFM.
Belles integrated for an amp should stomp on the Naim
