Re: SCD-1 filters: what parameters?

Not sure how technical this will be, but I can relate what the manual says.
Sony uses what it calls a Variable Coefficient filter which alters the frequency roll-off from sharp to slow. The Standard setting uses the sharp roll-off and filters 1 through 4 use different implementations of the slow-roll off.

" Sharp roll-off filters quickly cut off noise over 22.05 kHz generated during sampling. On the other hand, slow roll-off filters cut off noise generated during sampling, and are able to hold pre-ringing and post-ringing (a kind of sound smearing) in the impulse response signal to a minimum."

As you can see they (Sony) have not really provided any technical info as to their algorithm construction.
