PCM Filter
This setting lets you set the filter characteristic for PCM
digital content such as the digital output from a CD player.
We recommend trying several of these filters with the types
of music you typically listen to and choose the one you prefer.
There are no right or wrong choices.
The available filters are:
•
Fast Minimum Phase
•
Slow Minimum Phase
•
Apodiz Fast
•
Hybrid Fast Minimum Phase
•
Brickwall
•
Fast Linear
•
Slow Linear
“Fast” filters provide steeper roll-off at high frequencies and
therefore do a better job of attenuating unwanted high frequency
“aliased” signals. However, they exhibit more ringing on signal
transients.
“Slow” filters exhibit less ringing on transients, but they do a
poorer job of attenuating unwanted high frequency signals.
“Linear Phase” filters exhibit symmetric pre- and post-ringing,
i.e., they ring before and after the transient signal.
“Minimum Phase” filters exhibit only post-ringing, which some
listeners feel sounds more natural, but they typically ring for
longer than linear phase filters.
The “Hybrid” filter blends some linear phase and some
minimum phase characteristics to achieve good high
frequency attenuation with reduced pre-ringing.
The “Apodizing” filter blends linear phase characteristics with
techniques to reduce pre and post-ringing.
The “Brick Wall” filter is optimized purely for attenuating
unwanted high frequency aliased signals.
DAC SACD Filter
Select the frequency the low pass filter is applied to SACD
playback:
47kHz
,
50kHz
,
60kHz
, or
70kHz
.
PLL Bandwidth
Normal
is the default setting and is appropriate for almost
all sources. Select
Wide
only if you experience noise or signal
dropouts (most likely from high jitter sources such as cable TV
set-top boxes).
Digital Output
This allows the user to limit the sample frequency of the digital
output to
48kHz Max
,
96kHz Max
or set to
No Downsampling
(full source bandwidth).
