toning down the ps audio perfect wave dac

i own an original ps audio perfect wave dac. i called ps audio about sending it back for an upgrade. a technician i spoke to said the upgrade would increase the resolution of the dac.

i would like to tone down the treble a bit, as i find it a bit treble heavy.

i thought the least expensive way of doing this is substituting caps in the signal path and or replacing the metal film resistors with reiken carbon fibers.

i am not familiar with the "sound" of caps, but would like to soften the treble.

the only caps i am aware that might do that are audio note, mundorf or duland. am i on the right track ?

if not, what other caps could i consider ?

the only time i've felt it was treble heavy/bright was when using 100% silver core ic's (acoustic zen silver ref 1 & 2 to be specific). not sure why?? as others use silver core ic's with the pwd and have different feeling/results.

what type of ic's are you using and have you tired different types??

agree with others who say the mk2 changes the game. more resolution but smoother in every way. great upgrade i highly recommend.
