Well...., I thank everyone for their comments and Technical info.
I think because of my trained ear it makes it harder to deal with the robot sound. It reminds me of effects processing. One thing that puzzles me is, why some stations sound less robotic then others. Why is that?? I am not looking for HIFI sound quality, just a more natural sound. I feel like I am talking to a computer instead of a real person. Very impersonal. Thanks to all again for your comments.

My experience is that most D-STAR stations do not sound like robots. It is not the pure note of analog, but certainly quite smooth and clear. Perhaps you have some multipath, or other issue that is causing a just enough bit errors that the AMBE chip is not quite able to correct them all. Have you been able to try D-STAR simplex on a short and clear path?
