RE: sotm and the DAC have basic filtering

Have a look at the web site.

I'd skimmed a write-up on a UK distributor's web site that was obviously lifted from mfgr's spiel. I haven't a clue what "coupled with sophisticated gating principles and proprietary 'Polaris-X' technology" means except "awfully jolly damn good indeed".

Seriously, I'm not for a moment suggesting it isn't well engineered but you of all people would surely agree that filtering can be a bit of a hit-and-miss affair and that no filter is a complete answer. Necessary but not sufficient and all that.

The OP worried if he was insane. OK, he's come to the right place but I don't think so - I'd say he was perceptive. Having been on a similar path myself, I tried to suggest a few simple tests to see if he can't tie things down a bit. If others can come up with better ones, that would be useful.
