What is the best Dac to remove digital glare/ edge on highly compressed 80's Rock and roll

In looking for help in the 2-7k hz frequency range

or another way.

A Dac to make crappy albums sound acceptable in the highs

CAL Alpha with a nice set of NOS tubes. Canare digital cable is a very good cable that I feel is not too revealing but gets the job done just fine.

The very early Marantz that were 14bit rez only were good for doing this, nothing seemed to phase them. But you do lose detail.
Philips TDA1540 dac chip was 14bit. The Philips CD104 and Marantz CD74 used them, and many more probably.

If you download this massive list, and then use the search you'll find over 100 units that used the TDA1540 Audio Research among them.
