I think it's easy to forget that we have our systems "dialed in" for the existing source component. We've adjusted speaker placement, footers, interconnects and other cables for Brand X CD player and it's little wonder that when we substitute Brand Y CD player, things may sound strange.
I do think that many players take some time to burn in, so that's always an issue as well. I would wait a month before coming to any conclusions about the sound.
