less irritating means less emphasis upon the upper midrange/lower treble.
most 24/96 players i have heard annoy me because of the "extra" emphsis in the upper mids and lower trebles.
i am looking for a cd player myself. i can see now that i will have a lot of difficulty finding any player, even if price were no consideration, which doesn't bother me.
it's a curse to have sensitive ears. cymbals, violin strings and acoustic guitars sound so timbrally inaccurate that it's not fun to listen to music.
maybe the prima luna prologue 8 with 6 tubes will be sufficiently warm to meet my requirements.
i have heard most of the well known brands and some of the smaller ones. i am not impressed. even the current audio aero capitole lacks some of the warmth of the earlier models.
