asymmetric apodizing filter


I have the esoteric K01 and it offers the standard filters and the newer filter designed to reduce preringing. They surely sound different. I would like to learn more.

Do the asymmetric or apodizing filters come with sonic tradeoffs or theoretical tradeoffs? Do they compromise phase linearities?

Thanks

the ps audio pwd and pwd2 have both minimum phase filter and asymmetric apodizing filter along with other combos. i found them very helpful/noticeable with some recordings and not so much with others. am yet to determine any pattern or why. i'm thinking that's why ps audio gives you 4 choices along with an auto mode.

some info towards the bottom of this write-up
