Yup... Good points all. *Bottom line: *The Industry -needs -us to believe the filters are a "big deal". After all, how else to differentiate digital audio of which essentially any decent DAC over the last 20 years has sounded very good already!? Maintaining this sense of wonder and belief in claims underpins many of the advertised benefits for companies as disparate as PS Audio, Ayre / Pono, Meridian, T+A, all the way to MQA and its promise of "revolutionary" sound quality.
What the audiophile world truly needs to evolve and "revolve" is a realization of the objective mindset in terms of adjudicating the engineering around devices and file "formats". Time for the pendulum to swing back to objectivity... A long time coming but I remain hopeful that we can all contribute to making an impact.
