I don't see how a sharp filter could be needed if the DAC is oversampling.

Obviously. Analogue audio does not have a sampling rate. The ADC however can oversample all it wants, but if the output is 44.1 kHz, it needs an aliasing filter that cuts off at 22.05 kHz.

We appear to be in complete agreement with each other.
