Hi ive just purchased a Rega Apollo cd player to go with my Roksan amp and Monitor Audio BR5 speakers,using Audioquest Ruby interconnect and Qed qudos speaker cable. Trouble is it sounds a bit harsh on vocals,everything else fine.Is there anything i could to eliminate this.

It's partly running in, and partly your ear adjusting to the new sound, I think.

What was your previous player? It could be the Apollo is that much better at resolving detail, so now you're hearing clearly what was veiled before.
