Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Why would I want selectable Digital Filters in a DAC?

I had a $5000 DAC with selectable digital filters. Set it once and left it there until I sold the DAC. None of the filter settings made it sound better than the two DACs that I presently own.

Both of my DACs have very different fixed filter designs.

My favorite has a "minimum phase digital filter" using custom DSP implemented in FPGAs.

My other DAC (an outstanding bargain buy IMHO) has an all passive analog filter.
