How to remove harshness from my digital gear

Some help would be appreciated here.

I want to replace my dac and transport(moon dac3+ classe cdt-1 trans)In my system whit my ears i find this combo harsh and bright. It is the reason why i want to replace it. I was thinking about raysonic or cary tube cd player but i cannot ear one of them before taking my descision.

Any one have experimented moon gear vs cary or raysonic.
Between cary or raysonic wich one would be the less bright and the more liquid.

MY system: Dynaudio contour s5.4
Moon w3 amp
Marantz sc11-s1 preamp
All my cable have a neutral sound signature

Thank you

Well I solved my digital glare problem with a good tube buffer. I am not talking about some cheap $200 tube gizmo. I bought a used VAC Standard ($4,000 list new) preamp to use as a dedicated tuube buffer. I paid $1,400(a steal) and got a great device which SOLVES all my digital problems.

Along with power conditioners the 4 tube VAC allows the music to shine.
I have CHEAP digital stuff too. Ordinary Sony CD changer (SCD333ES) to a used Adcom DA700
IMO I have not seen any midpriced digital gear which does any good at resolving the digital problems..
