i find that musical fidelity a3.2 int amp is a great product. clear as a whistle, will go loud as my neighbors can stand, and sounds very musical. however, they are a bit on the "bright" side. and even so after 100 hours. but, i am using a toshiba dvd as source. i am definitely looking into a cd player (post in digital domain "cd for 52se"). Someone today told me to look into a DAC for the dvd. I am unfamiliar with the benefits of a dvd/dac versus a cd player (or is it vice-versa). But, what i am really asking here is what cd players would be good options to tame down the sound a bit while still preserving musical rightness. Or, i have a week left to exchange the mf. My dealer carries Linn and Rotel. Would either of these solve this "bright" issue? I was pretty surpised/excited to find that Linns Genki can be used as a cd/pre to go straight to a power amp. Maybe this is worth considering? As always, your advice/comments are appreciated.

Thanks all, Nusic.
