Do you understand though that sibilance is not a bad thing in itself, that it’s a normal part of all speech? Let’s just clear that up first.
Then please send me a recording that you find to be excessively sibilant.
I’ll apply de-essing compression to it to reduce the sibilance.
That will then satisfy you, surely?
Pardon the slightly delayed reply.
Of course I do understand the "SSSSss" part of speech/intonation.
But the question here isn't the recording but rather the observed DAC/amp and output transducer phenomena.
How do you measure / represent the phenomena of sibilance in measurements ?
I get sibilance being exceedingly evident (to the point of irritation) in some earphones while sounding completely "benign" sounding in others.
Frequency response curves of output transducers do not seem to represent this anywhere.
Likewise how the output stage changes in amplifiers alter the prevalence of such phenomena.
