The sound of DSD

What apodizing filter / modulator combination would you advise given the practical limitations of DSD64 and an ESS DAC? I generally prefer an apodizing filter so what you say makes sense to me.

I’d get started with poly-sinc-ext2 filter and ASDM5EC modulator. You could then try poly-sinc-gauss-long and poly-sinc-short-mp-2s for example and see which one takes you more to the direction you like.

Perhaps it is just with certain music/recordings but not others.

That would make sense, it likely works nice on good ones.
