The Marantz won't be helping that either...You might end up at the decision that you need one of those two to be a little more neutral, or even bordering bright...
I have had my Yulong Sabre D18 for going on two months now and while I love the rich detail and authority of the sound, I cannot get used to the muffled upper midrange. There is no air in the sound. Admittedly, XLR out is a bit better than RCA, but honestly it's as if Yulong tried to drive all the air out of the upper registers. The treble extension is there, but it is muffled, recessed. Very frustrating. It is beginning to depress me. I've started looking for brighter-sounding speaker cables. Yes, I know this is a forum for headphone users, but nowhere on the Internet is the D18 discussed as thoroughly as in this thread. Does anyone have any advice? My amp is a Marantz PM 7004 and my speakers are Mordaunt-Short Mezzo 6. My current cables are Van Den Hul CS-122, which are kinder to the upper registers than some other Van Den Huls.
