Cables to settle brightness

Any suggestions on a cable brand for interconnects and power cables to settle down some brightness?

I have Wireworld at the moment which I might send back.

As I move up the food chain in my system it is getting higher resolving but the treble has gotten a bit forward for me.

I added a PS Audio PowerPlant which is greatly improved the SQ, but now the treble is a little too much. Now it might settle down with burn in, but I’m not sure.

Any suggestions?

Update: new DAC in the system. PS Audio Directstream.

A/B comparison with my Mc DAC.

I’ve only listened to a couple of songs.

Glare gone, brightness gone with PS Audio. Not a subtle difference.

Good advice from this group on trying a new DAC!

I’ll report in with more impressions soon.

Source first, then speakers, amplification then cables….that’s my conclusion

OP,

 

Congradulations.  The DAC should only improve as it breaks in and gets more natural sounding.

I had speakers that I felt were a little bright on the top end (Focal Diablo Utopia III's).  I have very good success with Morrow Audio cables, and particularly the SP-7 speaker cables.  not expensive and they work great.  I also used MA7 IC's as well.  Overall, it was a good match for that system
