need help with my Oppo


I have a modest system that uses an Oppo disc player for both DVD and audio CD use, both 2 channel. I have a Musical Fidelity tube buffer that I use between the preamp and power amp to help take the “edge” off the Oppo when playing certain female vocals on CD. The buffer helped but sometimes the edginess is still is heard. Would I be better served by connecting the tube buffer in just the Oppo’s path and not between the amps?

To take the edge off the Oppo go into the menu and do the following:
Speaker output to L&R (not stereo)
Upsampling to 96 (44 is to forward, flat, and harsh. You may like 192- I thought it was too spacious with a light bass)
Set the digital out to RAW (not PCM, even if you are not using an outboard DAC it affects the sound).
The sound will now be more smooth and involving.
