I don´t understand Apodizing exactly. I guess it is applying a resampling with a soft lowpass and no linear phase. So it surely chnages the sound and can get rid o pre-ringing like even a simple lowpass can. In the end it only "smears and muddens" the original at a margin you can influence. I don´t think that is anything new. Many audiophile DACs had lowpasses build in that startet as low as 17kHz and had a similar effect. Of cause they measured worse and no one took them to serious. Now marketing comes with some nice impulse graphs and sell the muddening of the signal like the newest holy grail.
