I think misconceptions of classic oversampling played a major role in asynchronous conversion getting off the ground.ASRC, in my humble opinion, is a process that should have never found its way into consumer digital audio playback products. It was originally intended to convert data for transfer from one media format to another, not necessarily in real time.
But technically-corrupt products do make it to market when sound concepts are mis-characterized. And very few concepts have been a bigger victim of this than classic oversampling/digital filtering. The "old fashioned" 8x oversampling IMO is still the best method of digital filtering that we have. Where the innovation lies is in the FIR filter function, which is still the one part of CD playback design that I think has room for vast improvement.

I found it hilarious last year when he got so incensed he started accusing me of things that Todd had said :-)I will admit I baited him a little, but I didn't expect him to swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker and then choke on it :-(
