Best CD Player for using D200 DAC?

[Music or sound]

I have a DSP based room correction unit with SPDIF and AES/.EBU output , both live
Im using kimber Orchid AES and D60 illuminati for SPDIF

The AES sounds totally different to the SPDIF .. you can just switch inputs to compare

They should sound similar with maybe small differences .. but in this case its huge
the SPDIF is less "airy" , has more impactful bass and the midrange is more prominent , the AES is far more relaxed , has better resolution and deeper bass but loses out on pace..it sounds "slower"
The differences are not subtle and I and others can pick them out instantly
Not sure what I prefer... for pacey music the spdif is better.. but it sounds harsher and harder

I am not sure how much of your impression of slower sound via AES/EBU is caused by the Kimber cable. I tested several different AES cables and I had a similar sound impression with that cable. My DIY AES cable has better timing (and resolution etc.) than my SPDIF.
