I hear you but I would say that often in electronics decisions are made where the choice comes down to making one area better at the expense of another. A compromise in other words. Like the topic of negative feedback in an amplifier for instance.
So maybe the manufacturer has a preferred setting but still chooses to add the multiple choices because he thinks that some may like a different choice than his. Even if that decision is made just to make the product look more flexible which it would be.
I don't have a DAC with adjustments and if I heard a DAC that had adjustments and did prefer one over all the others I don't think all DAC's would need that switch. I think it should be decided case by case. I've read several reviews of DAC's with those adjustable filters where the reviewers did hear differences and referred one setting over another.

Which, in this case, is the recording process that, at some point, takes a perfectly good analog audio signal and turns it into digital.
Then leaves the job of returning it back to analog up to us in our home systems.
Not an easy job. More bit depth and/or higher sampling rates do not necessarily make it easier or better. In fact one could argue the opposite.
except I usually feel only 1 in 20 recordings at most are perfectly good anyway. Most are very lackluster in many ways. That just makes the gems all that much better.
