Interconnect to tame bright sounding CDP

Some static noise and sibilance could be a speaker driver problem.

Getting back to the "brightness," I can't see what in your system would necessarily cause that. I'm with Bluefin in thinking that some room treatments might be in order.

Yor problem is obvious. All anyone has to do is look at your system components. You lack proper noise filtration and digital needs excellent noise filtration in oder to be non fatiguing. Search the archives and work this out.

I was in dialogue with someone on audiogon who owned the same cd player/transport and with the same problem. I suggested him to get a CEC transport to go with the dac he was using, and the problem with went away.

Try Audience cables.

I tend to agree with PA. I use the Audio Magic Eclipse which I'm mad about. There are, certainly, others out there that will do the job on your digital. The Shunyata Hydra and Sound Application are also excellent choices. You can (there's one on the 'gon for sale) get an AM Mini Digital. That, with an excellent power cord, should do it.
