That much SAD makes me happy.  My only critique is that it's not really "digital".

Notice the filters have an extra RC network in the feedback path.  That's to compensate for the opamp bandwidth.  It can make the HF noise worse.

There's a full-wave rectifier in there. Looks like some sort of noise gate with the JFET.

At least it's a sampling system, so it's close!!
