I agree.
If the problem is excessively bright recordings or excessively bright speaker / room setup then it's not going to be fixed by switching DAC filters. One will get better results by speaker / room setup or by high frequency roll off (e.g. tone controls). I found that a roll-off of -3.5 dB at 10 kHz fixed the problem of too bright recordings without making other recordings sound too dull, in other words this was a "set and forget" type of move, not something that has to be changed from recording to recording like the volume control or absolute phase.
If one wants to play with CD filters then I suggest a computer audio system, where you can try many different filters at low or no cost.
