Absolutely. Actually about any source or intermediate component cane create and or attenuate sibilance. Components that emphasize detsail over natural balanced presentation are prone to create or enhave siblince. Hot speakers as well, particularly those with Beryllium tweeters.
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?
