NOS DAC's without any digital filtering?

I immediately thought of Ebm as well when I read Roxy54's post. Some of his snidy posts make me laugh.
good to know he's joking because sometimes I cannot be sure - he writes with such a straight-face.
let's see if he posts here now or not...

Coli's right. But i have enjoyed my PS PWD II with 2.0.2 firmware all others did not sound right.

Oops! You guys got me. But I agree, I am often amused, and sometimes annoyed, but I know it's just in fun...I think. He sometimes has some off the wall comments, but I guess it would be a duller place without him.
Keep up the good work Ebm!

Hi, I was looking for a technical explanation rather subjective opinions. Bombaywalla was the only one to do this. Guess I wasn't clear enough. Thank you, Bombaywalla.

Bombaywalla, I think the confusion was....

when I mentioned "aliasing", I actually meant the "pre-ringing" associated with steeper filter slopes from lower sampling rates (ie. 44.1khz). I thought this was same thing. I have heard hi-res tracks from several different companies and the vast majority sound subjectivly better to me, and I assume that this perceived difference has to do with "pre-ringing".

What I'm getting at is...

does a redbook only NOS dac use a different method to reduce this ringing, or does it just compensate by providing [i]overall[/i] better sound somehow?

Of course it's the overall sound that actually matters, I just want a better understanding of WHY.

Thanks!
