Thanks. I bought the Lexus and very smooth just as you've described.
Mutually exclusive quality of smoothness with details & texture. Not sure if "analog-like" is good word to describe the sound, but that's how I feel.
The AN-L sounds more meaty and comes with more harmonics though, so may suit leaner systems with lower end digital source. I actually like it too - quite fluid and natural, but certainly less open than the Lexus.
