Hi all,
I just purchased a used CDT-8 PRO, my first player/transport in maybe 20 years. I added it to my recently assembled Covid system: Rogue Audio Sphinx3 ,Rega P6, Phonomena 2+, Denafrips Ares2 and Audirvana from PC into Zu Omen bookshelfs. All cabling is Blue Jeans. Everything seems to blend in nicely together, at least to my ears. Added the CDT-8 PRO into the mix and I cannot get any of my CD to sound right. Digital Coax into the Ares2 both in NOS - everything just sounds meh, lacking substance and dynamics. Playing local files (most all FLAC) or Amazon HD music from computer to the USB connection on the Ares2 has no such issues, also no oversampling used on PC or DAC.
Any ideas to improve this situation would be highly appreciated...
