My Oppo is a bit too bright

'sup?
In a comparison to an impartial audience between my analog rig and my Oppo 105D > LFD LE IV rig, the consensus was the the digital end was too bright and brittle.
Some more details:

Digital:
Oppo 105 > Belden 840 cables > LFD LE IV > Decware Styx speaker cables

Analog:
VPI HW19 MK 4/Hana ML > Morrow PH4 > LFD LE phono > AZ ICs > LFD LE IV
All feeding into Spatial M3 Turbo S's
I agree with the consensus. Any suggestions for a warmer digital sound?

So I'll be honest, I rarely use the Oppo for CDs anymore. Since I have lostless Tidal, I mainly use it to stream tracks from that service, tho I still play a CD every now and then. If I were to maybe sell my Oppo and invest in just something to stream Tidal (or another streaming service), what might you recommend?

Simao maybe try dark sounding cable like Audioquest for my taste they are full sounding, they are solid core, Belden are strand I think.

@jayctoy Good call. I have a pair of Audioquest IC laying around. I'll try those.

@millercarbon  Yeah, yeah; I know. But still.

The knock on the 105 (I have one) was the power supply. I found Linear Power Supplies on Ebaye. One company provides easy to follow photos. Also replace the OEM IEC . I bought the Furutech with pure silver tail that snaps on the old or new board and a jumper to bypass the 110/220 switch

For ~ $400 you will be amazed
