I forgot to mention what analog filter I chose and why. I chose Chebychev because it has no ripple in the passband and takes half as many poles as the Butterworth. Each complex pole pair can be done with one op-amp, so the fewer pairs, the better. However, we do have a phase problem. My Chebychev design has a phase lag of 180 degrees at 20kHz. The phase starts taking off at about 2kHz. This is no big deal for me, as I am dealing with yucky movie and TV signals, but for those hi-fi nuts who buy expensive cable and interconnects, this is bloody murder... -- Todd Day | todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us | ivucsb!todd@anise.acc.com "Ya know, some day these scientists are going to invent something that can outsmart a rabbit" -- Bugs Bunny

Can't you fix up the phase of the analog anti-aliasing filter with a digital filter that has flat frequency response and the opposite phase of the analog filter? For that matter, maybe you could fix up the amplitude flatness at the same time.
