Hegel Viking sound


I just purchased a Hegel Viking CD player. I am breaking it in and at about 100 hours. It is vocal forward and the trebel is not bright but to close for my comfort. Looking for ideas to tame it.

In the Viking user manual it says,

“The CD-Player has two types of analog outputs:

unbalanced audio output (RCA) and true balanced audio output (XLR). For the highest level of sound quality, we recommend using the balanced output XLR outputs.”

 

I've never known Hegel to be particularly bright. Maybe a burn in issue? Bad match with cables?
