Hi Does Buffalo II (ie. ESS chip ES9018) contain out of band noise that must be filtered in I/V stage(IVY III) to avoid artifacts? If so, at what frequency? Different for different sample frequencies? 44.1, 96, 192... Thanks, Tom Edited by user Thursday, September 2, 2010 12:21:40 PM(UTC)

All DACs really need filtering to some degree. Because of the extremely high frequency of the asynchronous re-sampling and the dual digital filters in the ESS chip (IIR and FIR) the filter frequency can be much higher than other DACs. I usually aim for between 60khz and 100khz corner low pass. And the filter does not need to be very steep. 1st order is ok at 60-80 khz. We do this filtering on our I/V stages. IVY-III and Legato.

Hmmm, 192kHz sampling material that does have freq components up to 96kHz. (The ES9018 can do higher than that) In IVY III you filter with 1st order -3dB (50% down) at 54kHz, thus damping valid music signal. I can't hear that high of course, but it seems like a bit low -3dB freq for LP filter, or? What is your experience here? Edited by user Thursday, September 2, 2010 10:23:36 PM(UTC)
