RE: Tube DAC's ROCK

Hi Charles, Todd and others, I'm an audiophile without any technical background. Recently I came across this discussion that I have read with great interest. For me a CD player or DAC should only do one thing: getting the best sound from CD that is closest to reality. If I understand the explanation correctly, DAC chips don't have the biggest impact on sound quality but the filters that are being used to cancel the high frequency noise artifacts? Well, I wonder if it is possible to design a filter that can get rid of those noise artifacts without damaging the wave shape and/or introducing gross phase shifts or is this something that is technically impossible within the boundaries of Red Book?
Btw, I don't care if a filter rolls off frequency with 2dB at 20kHz. I only care for good and realistic sound.
