Using a first-order filter for DC rejection

A second-order DC rejection filter is uselsss unless we have complex
poles. However, complex poles means we have to compute the filter as a
single pass (rather than two casdaded first-order filters), which has
numerical issues that would require a higher complexity to solve.
So rather than waste cycles with a second-order filter (with a longer
impulse response), we just go with a first-order filter.
