With reference to Plato's suggestion about changing the CD player, try the $1.99 "The Black Hole" CD mat to reduce the glare while enhancing overall performance. This is made by Herbiesaudiolab.com
Click on "CD mat," and from that page click on "reviews/comments" to read about one of the least costly items ever made to upgrade digital playback.
It acts in many systems as a virtual equalizer reducing the perception of accentuated treble and glare "by reducing microphonic vibrations at the disc/clamp interface."
