Chord and several others before them are making big noises about their
new DAC's which claim wonders due to the use of a filter designed by
someone called Robert Watts, he calls it a Watts Transient Aligned
filter. Other than on Chords pages, or related adverts/review sites I
can find no mention of this alg on the web at all, and neither can I
find anything in the IEEE library. Does it ring a bell with yourself (or
anyone) or is it just more BS?

To tag on, I'd also be interested in this. Can't recall offhand if it has
appeared in JAES. (However, I'll check when I get a chance.)

I can see the general idea, but can't recall seeing the details of the
'WTA' design. As Peter Craven has shown, you can do designs like this in
various ways.

Slainte,
