A bigger gauge might help, but I think the plated plugs are the culprit. For a "fuller" presentation I'd suggest you take a listen to a copper Kaplan cable. The pure copper wire and unplated pure copper plugs render a full bass with a rich midrange. The highs are clean and extended, though perhaps not as "sparkly" as some plated plugs or cords may render.
I've found, in general, that cords that focus on "sparkly", up-front highs can tend to sound lean.
And unlike some here, PCs have a big impact on sonics in my system, and my equipment has no design flaws. As you are aware, with a hi-rez system itÂ’s easy to discern PC differences.
