That's the same thing that was said about ESS IMD bump. That was fixed by good, 3rd party engineering. We'll see if the M400 suffers the same fate.

Filters are part of the chip, this is not a problem of chip integration.

I meant that they are a pre-programmed matter

According to the AK4499 datasheet https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/AKM Semiconductor Inc. PDFs/AK4499_Feb2019.pdf it looks like the chip doesn't support sharper/faster roll-off filters than what has already been confirmed - even if you ignore the fact that two of the sharp roll-off filters look identical.

hypothetically though, an engineer could place another filter between the output of the dac, and the final output at the xlr. This could be implemented as an analog or digital solution. Is this not correct?
It is partially correct, in theory.
On the output side, it's the analog world, so only an analog solution is possible. A low distortion high order analog filter would cost a fortune.

It's a digital filter, so at the input of the dac chipGustard has done such a thing on the X26 with ESS9038Pro.

Ah yes at the input of course, not at the output that wouldn't make sense rightIt's a digital filter, so at the input of the dac chip

so it DOES seem that, while it could cost extra, it would be possible to add even more filtering at the the front end or the back end of the dac chip. Again will see is the m400 adds any new special sauce to the mix.
Good question. I hesitate between the two models

The M200 has the better bluetooth. M300 has only aptx as an extra codec, M200 has ldac and that new uat. Ldac is the one that really matters, every Android phone has it.
The m200 uses a high-end Bluetooth interface Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 with support for high definition audio protocols (UAT, LDAC, apt-X HD, SBC, AAC).

Apparently the SMSL M200 is just the SMSL M300 MkII in the form factor to match the SP200 and a little more expensive than the predecessor.
Do tell us what you know S.M.S.L igorpadrao,can I get a discount,asking for a friend.
Received the SMSL M200 today and I am definitely a fan.
Complaints:
- I'd like to be able to control the volume using another remote (such as my Apple TV 4K remote) instead of the included remote. Any way to do this? There must be.
- The fact that the volume is from 40 to 0. I prefer to have as much control as possible. 80 to 0 or ideally 99/100 to 0 would be ideal.
