Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others?

DACs can certainly sound different, and some add less crud and sizzle to the treble.  

Marketing gets into every nook and cranny. I think people need all kinds of ways to review and promote DAC’s. 

My understanding is that a DAC might subtly influence the perception of sibilance, but it’s primarily an issue rooted in the recording itself, speakers, and room acoustics. A well-designed DAC should be transparent. Excessive sibilance is likely coming from recordings, speaker characteristics, and room acoustics.

If you have a significant problem with sibilance and you're trying to fix it with DACs, you will never fix the problem.

This is the voice of reason and logic! Thanks, hilde45.

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.
