Building a new 2 channel system and need help

I am building a new 2 channel system and recently discovered PS Audio, yes, I am a newb.  Anyway, I am curious as to other members impressions about these amps.  I am considering a pairing with either Raidho, Magico or possibly YG.  I have to admit I am having more difficulty than I anticipated finding something that wows me. I recently listened to a system with an Aestetix amp, CD player and Focal Sopra 2s. I found the sound too bright. They did switch the amp to a VAC integrated and that was better, however still too bright.  I heard the Raidho C1.1s at RMAF and was blown away. I have not heard the Magicos so I am also open to opinions on those.

Thank you in advance

' looking wrong way through the telescope '. Well put and right to the point. You do need to greatly improve the source. And digital does sound bright.

melbguy1, whether it is in Australia or in the US or Denmark it is always the same. One day they might make it sound great but not yet.
We'll just not go into this any further, this is not really thread on digital, I just said it in passing since the OP had mentioned his complaint. He should be under no illusion.

Inna, so we are in no illusion, have you heard the Vitus SCD-025 Mk2 (or an earlier model Signature Series player)? Sorry to hear all digital sounds the same to you. My ears work just fine. And yes, let’s not go into this any further as it’s very clear you’re out of your depth.

If you are going to go with the Raidho speakers, I would certainly audition the rowland line of amps. Happy Holidays
