I meant: "all other things being equal", can one DAC present more apparent sibilance than another?
@stuartk I think with DACs, especially when we’re talking $5,000 and up category, it would be extremely unlikely to have a DAC render sibilance to the levels where it would become an issue. Yes some DACs would emphasize that particular frequency range more than others but I’m fairly certain about accuracy of reproduction. It wouldn’t be an issue unless other elements contribute to it.
Most likely room, speakers and cables will be the problem areas. So yeah it is possible but unlikely.
