Or better yet IMO, getting rid of the digital filter altogether as in the Audio Note and Lab 47 non-oversampling DACs. The aliasing *problems* (more in theory than in the listening) are still there, but it does also eliminate the time domain distortion (pre and post echos -Gibbs Phenomena) that all FIR digital filters add.

Exactly. :-)
