I have just forced that variable, and I can hear the effect.
I opened 2 Hatari windows to clearly hear the difference.

With that:
Low-pass filter is definitely enabled on drums. The samples lost some 
resolution, as if a treeble button was turned down. The original Hatari 
sound was more pleasant. But I don't know which version is more accurate, 
this should be compared with real hardware.

*BUT* that didn't fix the issue!
I can still hear the bogus-treeble which makes my ears bleeding.
Those annoying frequencies are definitely above the low-pass filter.

So something is trashing the sound at another level, adding unexpected high 
frequencies.

I attach a sample, recorded with "DmaSnd_LowPass = true". You can easily ear 
the annoying treeble.
And with Audacity spectral analysis, you can even see it! There are bogus 
bars around 7 KHz.
Maybe they are added by something else? LMC1992 emulation?
