well I do not have a CDP yet, but a FubarIII, there are some CD that I cant always face sibilance

could any1 recommend a CDP and DAC, so I can just drop by at the store to test selectively.... rather than testing everything

thanks in advance

If you're concerned with sibilance, I'd look more into buying a tube amp that is softer in the highs and rolls them off a bit.

The problem with sibilance is that it occurs in real life. If actual sibilance is recorded, then the problem does not lie with your system or headphones. They will pass the sibilance along, as it is found in the recording. One thing you can do is use an amp that doesn't emphasize the highs as much as solid state will.

You could also pick up a graphic equalizer to turn down the frequencies you dislike.

i think Fubar has opamps that you can roll

but as mentioned already, if it's in the recording it'll probably come through unless your amp/player/headphones are heavily coloured

btw what headphones are you using?
