R2R next? Don't like ESS

My dac has four ESS9039SPRO chips and it's not at all edgy. I absolutely hate bright, harsh, and edgy sounds. My tinnitus probably doesn't help. It replaced an r2r dac which are typically warmer and less bright. 

One of the things that I like about my current setup is that recordings that I had written off as sibilant, etc no longer are. With my previous gear, I wouldn't play some of my favorite music because the sibilance or edgy sound drove me nuts.  My system is very clear and detailed. I didn't get rid of the sibilance by rounding off the upper frequencies. That doesn't really work, anyway. 

Nothing worse than sibilance.  Makes me want to turn it off.  My amp sounds sweet , has great detail and has great bass .   Not thin sounding at all , great mid bass .  I sold my RME DAC  (akm), not that it wasn't a very good DAC it was, but the internal DAC just sounded better to me.   

I've been through a number of ESS Sabre dacs and they're not for me.  IMO, they lack a certain transparency

IME, transparency is their strong point.

+1 Yes, it is all in the implementation.
