Yes, it is just with the Sony. The Esoteric player is fine.
Warm Sounding Cable
I am looking for a cable that is warm sounding. I don't want bright or detailed, just warm. I want to change the cable from my Sony HAP-Z1ES Music Server to my Rogue RP-5 Tube Preamp. I am finding the sound to be a little bright. Looking for a cable new or used in the 200-300.00 price range.
