[AK4480]
It is recommended in SACD format book (the Scarlet Book) that the filter response at SACD playback is an analog low
pass filter with a cut-off frequency of maximum 50kHz and a slope of minimum -30dB/Oct. The AK4480 can achieve this
filter response by combination of the internal filter (Table 25) and an external filter (Figure 21).
