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

RE: Digital Filtering

Objectively, I would consider the DF1704 to be rather pedestrian. If I correctly recall, it is an typical multi-stage half-band hardware based implementation, which means it is only 6dB down at the Nyquist frequency, and chosen to minimize the required hardware resources (less chip cost). Also, the stop-band attenuation of the DF1704 is good, but not great. However, there are more implementation factors which matter to sound quality than simply those two.

That said, I can't speak to the subjective sound quality of the DF1704, as I'm uncertain whether I've auditioned any DAC utilizing it .
