Neither the A/D filter mode or the polarity (absolute phase) are disclosed. However, to the extent that they matter they are readily discernible by listening. I suspect, but I haven't tried confirming this, that one can discern the general parameters from examining the files, e.g. looking at spectrograms and waveform plots of transients.
The most important parameters of a filter are 1. its center frequency, 2. the width of the transition zone, 3. the depth of the transition zone, and 4. whether the filter is linear phase, minimum phase, or some mixture thereof. The first three factors are readily pulled from spectral plots. If one can find a transient in the music at the right point, one can see the extent of "pre-ringing". This will not necessarily answer which filters are best for playback, because there are other issues as well, e.g. tonal balance issues a function of microphone placement and EQ and system "house curve" issues as a result of speaker/room interactions.
