apodizing filter sonics

Robert Harley's review of the Meridian 808 player with the apodizing filter was a rave as well as the review of the Ayre CX7e/mp in the recent Stereophile. I see the ads for Esoteric also claim this filter technology in the new SA50. This filter piques my interest and I'd like to hear comments from individuals that have purchased one of these players or had their Ayre player upgraded. Specifically, do you agree with the reviews and does this really move digital closer to the analog realm?

"move digital closer to the analog realm"? Your not serious, with such a statement.

Can you think of any reason I or anyone else would seek a more digital sound? If the filter is a significant improvement in digital reproduction, why would you not want it?

I have approximately 500 LP's and 800 cd's and can appreciate both flawed mediums.

The owner of an Ayre CX7e that had his player upgraded to mp status would likely be able to relate the differnces.
