Could anyone help me out ,
As what these filters do?
There is. .... standard. 50k. 60k. 70k.iam asuming that they remove noise up to the selected setting.

I would think the standard setting is 47k.
Wouldn’t using say. 60 or 70k damage the speakers?

Tot the best of my knowledge the standard says 50 kHz.
However, DSD comes in various sample rates
DSD64 starts to generate a lot of quantization noise right after 20 kHz
As Digital is Digital DSD 128 will do the same but at 40 kHz
Likewise 256, etc.

Maybe because of this MDac offers various cutoff points.
I would go for the lowest possible value as all this high frequency noise has nothing to do with music but certainly feeds signals to your tweeters way above their breakup point.
