Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music

6 months ago I purchased used Rotel RCD 1072 to pair with my Rotel RA-1062 and B&W 683s. Since the 1072 has been in place, the sound I'm getting is very detailed but flat, sterile, dry. Which is surprising because I was using a cheaper Sony CE595 for 7 years which sounds smoother and warmer in comparison. The 1072 is very attractive and well built but the sound it produces is cold and unemotional. Has anyone else felt similar disappointment with Rotel cd players and what did you do to improve the performance? Cables AQ King Cobra and Bedrock. THanks.

Take the AC plug of the Rotel and put a cheater adapter on it.
Now Flip the ac polarity or orientation of the AC plug into the wall.
 Listen to see if you prefer it.

just trim the cheap cheater with nibblers so it can fit.
 you are doing this so you can flip the polarity and listen.
 In your other post make sure you can hear that Codex sometime
 its a real honey.

Let us know when you experience the Ayre Codex.
I will also predict after a few days you'll be hearing your whole system
 reach a new level of engagement.
