I listened to all three filters and my chose would be filter 3 across the board, more vivid and presence and detail with a great body.
Filter 1 or 2 with Noise sharper on Redbook or filter 3.
Now I have just worked on my room and added proper bass and 1st and 2nd point acoustic panels.
Before working on improving my room filter 1 was used across the board.
I also did some of the tweaks to the Marantz, added the ground wire, 75 Ohm digital terminator and Coax shorting plug.
So my results might not jive with others. I will say that noise shaper bring out details and a body to the presentation that is wonderful, and most of all if a cd’s not well mastered become more enjoyable to listen to.
I just listened ro the Ella Cole Porter Song Book 2 cd set and I never enjoyed it more with filter 1 engaged as well as the N.S. Superb!! Filter 3 is close but no cigar.
I don't care what the N.S.does but it brings the musical experience more into your room that any digital player I have ever heard. I enjoy filter 1 also on some discs. Filter 2 is close to one but a little rounder sounding.
I stick with 3 instead of 2, in fact 3 sounds great with SACD CD's. I listening to one right now as I write this and I must say a very enjoyable setting.
This learning experience and staying open minded has paid big dividends. Again like they say try it, stay open minded and use your own ears.
