Dear Charles,Good post, first of all!
I think your comment about the pre-echo of digital filters contain a large part of the answer as to why digital filters sound so "wrong", artificial, smeared and "noisy" (repetition echo, as I always call it).
I have access to as yet unpublished research into how the human ear perceives sound, and it would appear that the human ear is far more sensitive to "change" than to frequency than previously thought, which may explain why so many of us react so negatively to the "information" added by digital filters and associated oversampling.
Being presented with a signal when there should be silence is a significant "change" for example.
The problems introduced by doing nothing so to speak are far less problematic as far as the ear are concerned, than those created by the corrective measures as far as we have been able to establish and this bears itself out in the sound of the end result.
Sincerely,
Peter Qvortrup
