The article actually deals with shortening the pre and post echo on both the record and playback side of PCM. Without going into detail they imply that the pre and post echo can be shortened by increasing the data rate through up/ oversampling and new filter schemes. They imply that this will shorten the echo to close to that of DSD "without the comical ultra sonic noise of DSD". They got that right.

Follow Ups:
Are this new filter schemes to be implanted only on the recording side or on the hardware too? I suppose on both, or?
Will Meridian be the first to have them?
The article implies that filter design is important and very high data rate up/oversampling will also shorten the "ring" in relation to the original waveform. Sounds like an explanation why the Dacs running at high data rates sound better.

I would suggest that a more correct comment would be ..higher rate Dacs sound different rather than better?...Dave
