Great review. Didn't have time to read the whole thing in detail.

But one thing that immediately caught my eye was the at length discussion of apodizing filter and how it helps restore problems from ORIGINAL A/D conversion.

So why is it that in the current context of discussion to date that the apodzing fileter is only applied if Meridian applies upsampling?

Am I missing something, did John Atkinson miss something (doubtful I know)?
