2nd Note;

Sony writes a very good Operational manual. Take the time to digest it. I know that it is quite lengthy. Still, a wealth of information is there.  Have fun!

Happy Listening!

The operational and service manuals have lots of information, including a caricature description of the filters. However, I located Sony's white paper on the SCD-1 which has more detail including frequency responses of the 5 filters. However, I want to look at how the reconstructions affect the time domain. I'm developing a mental framework, but that task would be more effective and productive with more information.

Do you know where that filter discussion / information might be found?

Outstanding! A White Paper will certainly provide much insight for your discretion.

Sony is/was big on “Bass Management “ those 5 selectable Filters will tie into their philosophy.  To start, Google Sony SCD-1 forums and reviews. This player is 20 years old, so, have your readers on.  I will do some detective work on my end as well. Give me a few days.

Happy Listening!

Google : Sony SCD-1 player reviews. The first entry will be an outstanding Stereophile review by Jonathan Scull 1999.  I have this magazine in my collection and remember reading it circa 1999. Mr. Scull does an excellent job interpreting and reviewing this State Of The Art spinner. Specifically, those 5 filters are examined at length. This will be a starting point.

more to follow,

Happy Listening!

Great review - great reviewer.

I get the audio preference bit . I got a contact at Sony technical service whom I’ll query for specs. 
Thanks.
