Anyone have experience with using de-esser for sibilance in home audio system?


I've been experiencing sibilance over the past year and have arrived at the conclusion that it's my hearing. 

I'm wondering whether a pro-audio de-esser might help.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Sibilance can often be the result of digital clipping where a dac‘s output is too hot for the pre. If you can, lower the output volume of your dac and use the pre‘s volume control to compensate. This is even more the issue on radio broadcasts and new recording because of excessive loundness
