Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music

6 months ago I purchased used Rotel RCD 1072 to pair with my Rotel RA-1062 and B&W 683s. Since the 1072 has been in place, the sound I'm getting is very detailed but flat, sterile, dry. Which is surprising because I was using a cheaper Sony CE595 for 7 years which sounds smoother and warmer in comparison. The 1072 is very attractive and well built but the sound it produces is cold and unemotional. Has anyone else felt similar disappointment with Rotel cd players and what did you do to improve the performance? Cables AQ King Cobra and Bedrock. THanks.

Rotel products in general are detailed but unfortunately flat, sterile, dry and bright.
I owned in the past Rotel CD,pre and power for 2 years till I couldn't hear my system anymore its sound was cold as ice and boring ,so decided to change my system to McIntosh day and night difference.
