I like filter 1 for CD, noise shaper and DC filter off. For SACD, filter 3 seems best. For some reason, all like the three filter selections for SACD. Just there are big diferences in the sound and 3 seems best with most discs.
Usually though, I leve it at filter 1 for both because most listening ends up being to CD's. My ratio of discs is still 20 to 1 or CD to SACD.
My opinion on these settings changed when I went form a good amplifier and full range floorstanding speakers to stand mount active monitors. Before the differences seemed smaller.
I hit play this morning on the Art Lande disc While She Sleeps. After 10 secounds, thought, this sounds like filter 2. Looked and it was, so changed to 1, listened one song, then to filter 3.
With my old system, it might have taken a couple days to catch having filter 2 selected. I have to get up close to read the display.
I always want to like position 2 the best, but the implimentation in the SA11S2 makes it my least my favorite with both types of discs.
