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?

It will make a good transport. Depending on your budget, the Schiit Dacs have a good rep as does the Denafrips Ares II at around $700.
Your coax cable makes a difference. The mellowest coax digital cable I've found is the Audio Advisor Penangea for $95. Belden's standard coax at $20 is also a good cable. I've tried the expensive cables and you can expect more detail but attendant brightness and more of what you don't like. 
Also Have you done the latest Firmware update on your Oppo. They still have a legacy web site and can upgrade your unit They sent me a DVD to upgrade my Oppo 93 software. 
Schiit is coming out with a transport (I don't know when) You might try that with a Bitfrost or Gunier multibit. j
