Will the cap upgrades reduce harshness? I must add, the DAC is not especially harsh, indeed it's harsh of me to compare it to a £5k vinyl front end.
The Wolfson DAC is both detailed and smooth and the Elna Silmic II caps to replace the tants improve the bloom and midrange transparency. Better regs (in my case Dexa) also help. In no way is the Caiman harsh, just very detailed and dynamic.
