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?

Personal opinion is I can only "hear" this happening in systems which have been uber designed for "detail."  Usually these systems are either bright or have a very uneven response which accentuates certain frequencies and nulls others.
