In Reply to: a measurable euphonious tune in a DAC? posted by dave789 on December 10, 2014 at 14:10:52:
Due to the digital filtering essentially removing distortion components above 22 kHz (for CD playback), a "high distortion" player could in essence "restore" some of those harmonics (distortion or otherwise) that were removed in the digitization process. And if done in an artful way, it can sound more "analog" than a typical DAC with infinitesimal distortion.
