You can use the configurator to set the frequency at which the treble control operates - I'd guess you might want to start with something around 5 kHz. Then you can select the amount of treble cut using the remote control (documented in the manual for the 8.1 firmware). It will probably take a bit of experimentation to discover what combination of frequency and cut best controls the sibilance.
I haven't done this myself so I don't know how much detail you might lose - the cure may be worse than the disease. Anyway, there's nothing to lose by trying it, apart from time.
The only thing I tried was reducing the treble , ie adjusting it to -1 on the main Tone Control. It did not appear to make a great deal of difference. The more I adjusted I definitely lost the brightness, but also felt I lost a little clarity
