In Reply to: Why would I want selectable Digital Filters in a DAC? posted by jedrider on August 31, 2015 at 15:05:57:
When playing a CD there are two filters that are relevant. The filter used to make the recording and the filter used to playback the recording. These two filters interact and their interaction is well predicted both by theory and practice. One can look at waveform plots and see this interaction on test signals and one can listen to music and hear this interaction. The situation is like a subtle form of the LP equalization debate prior to the adoption of the RIAA curve. If the audiophile used the wrong equalization he would not hear what the mastering engineer intended.
