M-DAC filter setting - i need a layman's explanation of what to set please

If you hear a difference, just take the one that sounds best to you.

I don't hear any difference between the filter settings of my DIY DAC, so I just use the steep setting. It seems the most logical to me.

Slow roll-off filters have less ringing, but attenuate the treble somewhat. Conventional wisdom has it that the ringing doesn't matter because it is ultrasonic, but there are many people contesting that.
