They advertise a minimum phase filter. So they obviously use a slow
roll-off together with minimum phase. That should calm even the most
frightened with the fear of ringing.
Btw. if you already use some weird, early rolling off filter for
resampling high samplerate music to 44.1 the chance rises to hear
differences at 44.1 with such implementations.



Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA
monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers
