Default The dark sound of Virus, what is the reason and will it apply to signals from inputs?

I have been using a variety of VA synths and a few analog synths. I noticed that the Virus sound is mid crispy, but not really any sizzling highs to be found. Now I am thinking to get a TI Snow mainly to use it as an FX box.
But I am curious, what is the reason of the dark sound of the Virus.
My thoughts. Either on the oscillator stage, or, the filters are simply not opening all the way up, maybe highest is 15-16000hz.

So my question to you, did anyone try to see what happens if you provide a sound source thru the inputs with the filters wide open. Will there be a huge difference in sound character, will highs be cut off?

If not, this would indicate the dark sound is from the oscillators, if yes it would be from the filters.

If someone with a Virus could not only provide an opinion based on subjective qualities of hearing but actual measurements like looking at the sound before and after going through the virus in a graphical EQ.
