" I assume Sony XA5400ES SACD player incorporates one digital filter ?"
No it actually has three as far as I can deduce. It uses an 8x oversampling filter for redbook discs so as to present the resultant data to the final conversion stage at a similar rate to that of SACD. However as the frequency responses for CD and SACD are specified as different (as they have to be - oversampling and upsampling adds no data), I conclude that different digital filters are used for each of the formats (as is the usual case with CD/SACD players). However I may be wrong as I can find no information on this. If I am it therefore has two filters.
So in this example I guess that use of the word " requires" rather than just " has" would be appropriate as all the filters are necessary for the operation of the machine and are not user selectable.
However you referred to Sony digital processors with no digital filters, rather than one, in your earlier message and that is what my query was about.

I can not find where you say I posted Sony digital processors with no digital filters ?
Here is your post

I have heard dCs expensive components and still prefer Sony who have either one or no filters. When I had the obese Marantz SA7-S1 despite its filters I found none satisfactory ?"

It is your posting at 09:19:38 on 18th February in which you said :

I meant their SACD player
Well SACD players , including Sony's, have digital filters.
The trouble is identifying what is the reason for your preference. Is it the filter? Is it jitter? Is it the I/V circuit? Or is it something else?

Yes indeed. Particularly when a system like a full four box dCS stack has the possibility of numerous permutations of several relevant factors. And let's not forget that, whatever the form the digital processing took, the actual sound largely comes post processing from the analogue output stage.
