I would not add a word to the reviews here from Jack and others, I myself am not sure whether it is my equipment or my ears to "break in". However, many months ago, when I initially posted something about what I perceived as my Rotel CDP sounding harsh at the beginning, I even read something like "wipping the spit off his/her computer screen", in disgust on my finding. We have lots of improvement out here!!
