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 ?

I've not found the duo to be bright. I use a copper Signal Cable HDMI between the two. I use Signal Cable Silver Resolution for interconnects, which I believe has 4 strands copper and 4 strands of silver. I do use all copper Signal Cable speaker cables which Frank claims is a the best match for most systems. The upgrade is really a mo brainer transporting the PWD to near reference heights according to many that have compared it to the very best, price no object DACs.

While I do concur that there are better transports than the PWT it is still a great piece for the money.

MrTennis, I know from your posts that you've been less Han satisfied with the combo. I do admire your stubborn, resolute ability to find the key to getting your combo sound as good as u can. What are you using for power cords?
