Dac to remove Digital Glare/ edge

I second larry's suggestion. I have an expensive player, and it sounds just plain ugly compared to my analogue gear. But, with isolation transformers on each channel, it is quite listenable, even enjoyable.

The trick is to use isolation transformers which attenuate the high frequencies, but not too much. I use car audio transformers: 1st Source GL100 Ground Loop Isolator. They are inexpensive.

Resonessence  mirus dac. Has 8 different filters on it. Three of them remove Crappy highs 

Chord Hugo TT. A bit on the dark side but beautifully so.
Beautifully dark is the best way to put it. Great for rock/pop/shrillness in vocals or upper mids in general, but still full of life and addictive.

I'm a 80s rock junky too!  The Meridian 808 players will tame the glare and leave the detail.
