I hear you but I would say that often in electronics decisions are made where the choice comes down to making one area better at the expense of another. A compromise in other words. Like the topic of negative feedback in an amplifier for instance.
So maybe the manufacturer has a preferred setting but still chooses to add the multiple choices because he thinks that some may like a different choice than his. Even if that decision is made just to make the product look more flexible which it would be.
I don't have a DAC with adjustments and if I heard a DAC that had adjustments and did prefer one over all the others I don't think all DAC's would need that switch. I think it should be decided case by case. I've read several reviews of DAC's with those adjustable filters where the reviewers did hear differences and referred one setting over another.
