What filter setting do you use on the Marantz Ruby CD/DAC?

There are two filters, labeled simply, Filter 1 and Filter 2.

I left mine default at Filter 1 for a long time.  I flipped on Filter 2 and forgot about the flip.  Later, I'm listening and I think the treble sounds less rolled off on Filter 2--maybe more air too?  

I think these are subtle but I also think I like Filter 2 better. 

Opinions?

Then i guess you have your answer.

Filter 2 had the same results on my Marantz SA15S2 SACD player. I, too, forgot about the filter settings and filter 2 got me more air, detail and texture.

All the best,

Not quite riley804.  I was looking for thoughts on what others hear.  Maybe it is trivial to you but I enjoy hearing what others think. 

 

Thank you nonoise!  I'm going to play some of my personal reference recordings to see if I consistently feel the same way about it.
