In other words, the digital decoder is actually ADDING significant digital grunge from 22K to 44K. And that was NOT originally there. That's why you have to filter it out.If you're into electronic music, many samplers allow turning off the anti-alaising filter. Once the sampling rate is within your hearing range – wow does it sound awful!
This is very basic stuff. Either Audio Note is incompetent (I doubt it) or they’re yet another greedy business pulling a blatant marketing hoax on unsuspecting audiophiles.
But maybe some "audiophiles" actually love that dirty digital grunge you get with filtering. Who knows...
