I by myself do hear things later on when listening at home, that I didn’t hear in the studio - for the good or the bad.
This is why we usually have an “evaluation” phase, do changes and corrections, before release.
Every pair of speakers or headphones sounds different - for everyone - giving a different perspective on the same recording.
It’s a process, artists tend to focus on their own performance, audio engineers keep an eye on the whole picture, this all goes hand in hand.

For example, the NOS filter could be replaced, I doubt that a mastering engineer uses a NOS filter.
The ESS chip allows to load custom DA-filters into the chip (which RME already does), so the number of filter options isn’t limited.
NOS is an interesting approach, BTW, as a reference for “almost no filter”.
