The "Tutorial: Syncing Your Subwoofer with Main Speakers" needs to be reworked. The chapter "Understanding Subwoofer Delay" contains this statement: "If your subwoofer does not impose a noticeable delay but is placed farther from your main listening position than your main speakers, you should apply a delay value for the subwoofer."

If the sub is farther from the MLP, then delay needs to be added to the mains, not the sub (which is already delayed acoustically).

I'll forward that along to the team for you!

What is the DAC digital filter used in the Ultra’s subwoofer out?

Reconstruction filters only really affect the sound above 10KHz, so it doesn’t have any effect on subwoofer output.
