Switching the filter characteristics
2 filter characteristic types can be selected for DSD source,
and for PCM source. The 2 filter characteristics types are
explained below.
Filter
Type
PCM source DSD source
Filter 1
Oers a short impulse
response for both pre-
echo and post-echo.
Suitable for large-
information-content
audio. Produces a
deep sound image
with clearly-defined
positional relationships
of the audio sources.
This is a direct mode
in which there is no
filtering versus the DSD
data (Super Audio CD
recording signal). The
original source data is
reproduced as it is, along
with the original texture
and space.
Filter 2
This filter oers
asymmetrical impulse
response. The post-
echo is slightly longer
than the pre-echo.
Resembles analog
sound quality.
DSD data exceeding 100
kHz is attenuated. Also
equipped with DACs
for normal-phase and
inverted-phase signals (23
each). The asymmetrical
DAC operation gives
priority to the resolution,
resulting in a smoother
sound.
Press FILTER.
•The setting cycles through the 2 modes
(Filter 1/Filter 2) as shown below each
time the button is pressed.
Filter 1 Filter 2
NOTE
The “Noise Shaper”, “DC Filter” and filter characteristics have
a last memory function. These settings remain in memory
even if the power is turned o.
