Have problem choosing cables XLO or Tara Labs ??

I currently have a setup which I think is too slow, vocal image is a bit too small and forward. Hi-Freq is also dim and not as accurate. I used Digital SetUp with XLO digital cables and was satisfied. But I changes to a single box player so I am using my MIT MI-350 CVT and found the above problem... Not as fast and accurate, not as punchy and kind of dim with a forward soundstage. I am thinking XLO or Tara Labs will fix the problem since they are faster and more accurate cable. MIT was in my choice but I change to MI-350 and problem still exist. I like fast punchy accurate sound with pin point focus... Anybody with any suggestion? I have XLO 1.1 or 1.2 Signature or Tara Labs AIR 1,2,3 or Decade in mind... really don't know because I never heard Tara Labs. Are they faster and more accurate than MITs and XLOs?? Please advise...

You may be focusing in the wrong area...
Have you experimented at all with upgrade AC cords? Every cord sounds different & even behaves differently on different components. Also experiment with isolation & coupling tweaks (cones, shelving, footers). You can do your tuning in different ways & if changes in interconnects don't help then perhaps it's time to try out something different. Line conditioning is another gray area in that respect.
