I'm a long time user of DSPs and DSP algorithms in active noise and vibration control. More recently, I have been using faster microcontrollers to do what I need.

You don't remove DC with a lowpass filter.  You remove DC with a highpass filter. 
I agree.  A nice thing about applications like this is that you don't need the cutoff frequency of the filter - and, hence, clock frequency - to be hyper accurate. ...
The MAX270/271 are 2nd order LPs.  Other parts like the MAX7480 are 8th order LPs in a 8-pin package.  That was more what I had in mind.
