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?

Agree not to use cables as tone controls, system and speakers may becoming too revealing for poor recordings and plug amp directly into wall. If you don’t have dedicated circuits start there, room acoustics if that’s an option and play with speaker and listening position as that may change things more than cables.

I would try Some of the Tellurium Q range; they are actually grouped according to two axes: tone and resolution, so they are easy to chose as per the OP needs

I had the Black II in my system and although they didn’t do it for me, it is a very good cable for the price.

@duckworp I doubt it's the Denafrips.  It's the fifth DAC I tried and best sounding of all except maybe my old DAC, which wasn't as good sounding in other ways, much more homogeneous sounding, making everything sound warm and smooth with reasonable detail.  I am pretty sure it's the fact that I went from WiFi using coax cable to Ethernet using both USB and I2S over HDMI.  Lots of variables, no time to try and identify exactly what the problem is, and I have blown my hifi budget for at least this year.  Whaddya gonna do?
