    I have just listened to three Roxy Music tracks (can you tell I am old?) rapidly changing the filter setting. No difference at all. I suspect the filter only affect the analogue stage and is bypassed when using a dac.

    I've got a 930 and never realised it has a co-ax digital out...Was going to post that it hadn't got one but then thought I'd check first - and blow me down!

    Edit:

    The clock frequency of the 920 is 45.1584 MHz so that one wouldn't work. Sorry.
