Agree with RGA that Dyn 52 is not known for being bright. My bro has MF A3.2 separate and Contour 1.1 and I don't find them bright. My guess is (if your room is not too lively) that you expect more bass from those little speakers that they can't deliver. This can be perceived as bright. An addition of subwofer or equalizer is likely to improve the sound with more predictable result rather than many trials and errors with various CDP or DAC. OK both subwoofer and equalizer can be considered as sin in audiophile term, but hey, not all rooms are the same and not all recordings are the same and you want to listen music the way you want it. Both can be used to tweak the sound to suit your taste. Enough ranting now. Good luck.
