Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Hipster fad?

And Burmester, in the early 90s. Their first standalone DAC used
an instrumentation DAC chip, and could optionally be operated with
its digital filter disabled. The magazines swooned over the 'perfect' impulse response.

The Kusunoki article is typical in that it tried to explain a subjective disliking of orthodox digital audio by an analogy based on a very incomplete or even erroneous comprehension of what is going on (both in digital filtering and in the actual string-of-loudspeakers model).

The resulting images appeal to those with lacking mathematical background (i.e. 99.99% of all audiophiles, including reviewers, experts, and even designers) and combined with the subjective preference for unorthodox digital (NOS) constitute proof that oversampled/filtered digital is obviously wrong.


And then you wake up and realise that your classmates of old ... are running most of the TV shows.
