Alfau7,As you can see from the above post, the brightness did not go away.A deal breaker for me.The NuForce sta 200 has none of that brightness.  It just doesn’t have quite the level of definition as my old NuForce. Otherwise I would have kept it....

Tim,I have canceled the Odyssey for now. May consider looking into the Belles Aria amp on Audiogram that Schubert referred to.  Problem is, it’s over ten years old.What do you think?Richard
