I am currently just leaving DSc2 with dsd512x48, 7EC Super (not the 512fs version)
Filter choice depends on materials - xtr short mp for hard rock; default filters gauss long, hires lp for everything else…
Still surprised how everything just sounds like LPs
yeah, I like to use short filters on 88.2khz and higher PCM. At those rates, the sinc response isn't an issue on audible frequencies and any aliasing/imaging is likely to be filtered out due to the higher sample rate.
as far as 44.1/48, I use apodizing filters with moderate rejection of imaging. Not a fan of long tap filters at these rates due to ringing. But I am learning to allow myself to step outside of 'theory' and just go by ear. Lots of DACs sound amazing on high resolution material. One of the benefits IMO of HQPlayer is with 'redbook' rates... the filters are so carefully designed, I am not sure how much advantage high resolution PCM actually has.
