No, regarding stuff on settings for downsampling, personally for myself just an intellectual exercise to find something that doesn't ring much (especially for those who believe they can hear the ringing/smearing), frequency response flat to 20kHz (unlike stuff like the Ayre filter), has minimal aliasing while doing the above, and remains linear phase because I think linear phase is still "best practice" for accuracy. The settings seem to be decent "objective tradeoffs" that should not result in any subjective concerns / criticisms... I welcome anyone who feels the need to ABX filter settings to go for it :-).
