As Marantz puts it:With RBCDs:
"This is an original filter using short FIR with asymmetric preecho and postecho in the impulse response. The analog characteristics exhibit slow roll-off. This creates a sound venue with richness, smoothness, and depth consistent with the image of analog record performances."With DSD/SACD:
"This is a direct mode that does not perform any filtering on the DSD data. The original source data is reprocuded without any alteration."Since this is primarily bought as an SACD player, I wonder whether it might be the latter that actually matters: no mingling whatsover with the DSD data. The other settings apparently have an attenuating effect on some segments of the bandwidth.
I've been doing my RBCD listening with setting #3, thinking that I hear a greater overall "cleanliness" or clarity across the spectrum with it. Not a huge difference though and this decision is not very studied.
