Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others?


I recently watched a  Hans B. review of the Ferrum Wandla in which he states that it "handles sibilance well," or something to that effect. Up to that point, I'd never come across such a comment, so I'm wondering whether anyone here has found that certain DACs are more/less prone to sibilance?

Some chipsets produce a brighter sound and my ears can’t handle it anymore.  I’ve also found that I have issues with most “Over Sampling” filters. That’s why I’ve stuck with the Pontus ll. If/when I upgrade my DAC, it will most likely be with another ladder DAC.

I’m interested in following your journey.
