Maybe I went too far with my comment about rolling off the highs. If they implemented it really well, it shouldn't have any real negative effect. But still the same positive effect.

If they really wanted to improve harmonic distortion (which is what their stair-stepped sine wave would measure as) and signal to noise, they should have stacked multiple DACs (or used all channels of an 8-channel DAC to drive one or two outputs (balanced or single-ended respectively)).
