> And those very good brick wall filters _will_ have a considerable group delay. ? The only way they'll have any group delay is if they're hybrids using a minimum phase section to save on gates. The linear phase section is going to do the heavy lifting in any modern design... if there's any AA filter at all. Once all the hash has all been shaped into the >1MHz region, many designs don't bother anymore. Despite the Pono and Meridian press releases, minimum phase/"apodizing" AA filters are not actually desirable.

IMO doing the sampling at 240K, then doing a weighted sum shift (5 > stage shift) to decimate the data down to 48K, should result in dropping > the alias caused noise floor by several db.
