I'm sure you are aware of the break-in requirements of these players. I used primarily the Esoteric disc, but substituted quality classical, big band jazz and rock recordings to exercise the system. I ran both decks 24/7 until they reached 500 hours on Red Book and another 250 hours on DSD. How many hours do you have on yours? I heard major improvements in openness and tone quality at approximately 175 and 275-300 hours respectively on Red Book and a little later, approximately 200 hours for the first real improvement in the dsd playback. It takes time, but like the song says, "What a Difference a Day Makes!" Ted.
