1. The DAC is NOS (No oversampling, no digital filter)
2. There will be some analog filtering, carefully worked out gentle filtering after the DAC chip can radically improve the sound of a NOS DAC. This is NOT high order "brick wall" filtering that some use. The primary filter element is a high quality transformer after the DAC chip, this does a wonderful job of smoothing out the stair step from the DAC without adding other nasty effects.
3. Yes it will do 24/192.
