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?

Try feeding an external usb drive directly into the Oppo playing .wav files. That is how it sounds best in my system; beats spinning a disc and .flac format. Never found the 105 to be bright under that configuration. If anything, there’s a slight (artificial?) smoothness and maybe a slight pronouncement in the lower frequencies, but not bright.
