warmer ?


hi what would be a warmer player than a Demon DCD-510AE ? a Marantz CD6005 ? the problem I have is it gets bright on the high frequencies but still warm on the lows.

any recommendation for one that does not need a warm up to sound good ?"

Nope. Pretty much everything needs to warm up. It really shouldn't be something to consider, though. If its SS, just leave it on all the time. Tubes, maybe 15-30 min. for the average piece.
I'm not sure what headphones you have, but assuming they sound OK, I would consider a new headphone amp. Since I haven't heard your system, understand that I'm just guessing. But that is where I would look first. Also, there are many headphone amps that have DAC's in them as well. You can get 2 upgrades in one box. Use the Denon as a transport.
