Slow roll off may lose a bit of audible high frequency and it may suffer from aliasing. It really depends on how slow is slow....as there are many degrees from fast to slow.
DAC Bandwidth settings
Hi all
I have looked on the net but can't see a simple explanation to describe the differences between these bandwidth settings on my DAC:
• slow roll off, linear phase
• slow roll off, minimum phase
• fast roll off, linear phase
• fast roll off, minimum phase
• apodizing fast roll off, linear phase
• hybrid fast roll off, minimum phase
• brickwall
My DAC is Wyred 4 Sound Anniversary 2v2SE Limited Edition.
Thanks
Rich

I assume use are using an ESS chip, it’s datasheet on pages 55-58 shows the graphs for the frequency and impulse differences for all 7 (doesn’t show phase though), page 53 shows the tech specs. Apodizing fast is the default for most DACs. Keep in mind that, while it depends on the DAC, most people I’ve heard from can’t hear a difference, maybe a minute one. I would experiment between Apodizing and Fast Linear |
