Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: Cary 303/300 vs Ayre CDX-7 vs MBL CDP-2

Hi,
I also heard the players in two different systems. Neither sounded bright to me.
It could be that it's your speakers that is causing the brightness: I haven't heard the 703s but some B&Ws can be bright. Also, Kimber Monocle being a very thick copper cable, may emphasize the bass, leaving the treble exposed and aggravating any brightness in your speakers.
All in all the tonal problems (too warm, too bright) seem to me to be more a system imbalance than a weakness in the DAC/CDPs.
