I find many times that I need to adjust to the change in perspective that a new component brings, before appreciating some upgrades. Many times I have wondered "what was I thinking" after finally appreciating the superiority of the new component, which many times has been radical.
Give it some time, you may prefer the Audio Note after the adjustment. I suspect another factor that may be at work is that digital is improving, in part due to newer and better DAC chips, so I wouldn't rule out the Panasonic being the better unit either, if it has newer technology.
It won't take long to decide which approach you like the best.
