Fast roll off: Standard at response with fast frequency roll of above Fs/2
(half the sampling frequency). Slow roll off: Starts rolling of at a lower frequency than the Fast lter but has a more gentle rate of attenuation. This is the default lter for the LX CONNECT Hub. Minimum phase: Has a gentle attenuation slope similar to the Slow lter but with minimum phase characteristics. It can be likened to an analogue lter applied in the digital domain. The DSD Bandwidth can be widened to suit high performance Hi-Fi equipment and particular DSD audio les. DSD BW OPT DPLL BW DPLL setting is used for changing the bandwidth of the digital phase lock loop of the D/A converter to accommodate different levels of jitter on the incoming SPDIF signal. Normal mode should be selected for signals with low jitter, while Wide mode should be selected for signals with abnormal jitter. For best audio quality leave this setting at the default value Normal, only use Wide for a given input if the system is having problems locking onto the source.
