Good choice. Stay as far away from a Horn as is humanly possible. If you like only midrange go for it. If you want the whole pie Verity is a great choice so is the Coincident. Shame you cant try them side by side. Let the best one win. 
Sibilance how do I get rid of it?

DAC for Rega Planet 2000
Philjolet, who ever told you that does not know of what he speaks. The 2000 is a very very good player at its price point and even 500/1000 above in lots of cases wont get you better.A 500.00 DAC even A Bel CANTO that reatils for 1k + wont do it.
