Phase 1) I still think this part is only applicable to converting an analog source direct to mqa or direct to pcm and then to mqa. Impossible to do to a multi track digital recording or analog sources remixed in the digital domain such as Steven Wilson's rereleases. A mix of A/D converters or digitally rendered music tosses a monkey wrench in this phase.
Phase 2) Agreed phase 2 can only be considered a lossy process.
Phase 3) A good dac design will already have a form of filtering in place to try to deal with digital to analog conversion issues. Is meridians method always better is the question?
