Gold plugs definitely obscure detail. In fact, the Furutech gold-plated XLR connectors are very smooth sound, but man are they warm and slow! However, when combined with silver wire, they are actually quite good!
I'm not going to 100% say that the Oyaide Focus on the digital cable will make your system have a bright edge. It certainly did on my system, but my equipment is all fast / high resolution stuff. If your system is warm sounding, the Oyaide might not have a bright edge.
