@bondmanp - are you sure it is not the Denafrips dac - was this in your old digital chain that sounded better? It is unlikely a streamer nor cables that will cause harshness in the top end whereas a DAC can easily be the cause.
Having said that, I did find on an old Naim CD player that upgrading the mains cable reduced some of the harshness.
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?
