Nak is not introducing some new digital filtering scheme.
They are merely  implementing the same filtering scheme which Phillips (aka
Magnavox) uses on all of their players. Quadruple oversampling is inherently
superior to analog filtering. Also, the Phillips players are known to have one
of the better drive mechanisms on the market, being quite tolerant of surface
imperfections, as well as vibrations. So, for example, Revox seems to have
incorporated the Phillips mechanism into their players.
Bu the way, Magnavox players are built in Belgium on the same line as Phillips
players are.
