Filter Design, group delay for audio processing

Hello,

I am looking for a way to obtain the lowest group delay.
The specifications are;

Lowpass filter
fpass=1kHz with 3dB Ripple
fstop=4kHz
Attenuation 60dB (between 4kHz and 20kHz or between 4kHz and 97.5kHz)
with sampling frequency: 195kHz
up to 1kHz linear phase and constant group delay (needed)

If I use Generalized Equiripple FIR filter of Matlab fda toolbox, the
minimum order is 115 (so 57.5 Tabs delay)

Is it possible to obtain a new filter which has a delay less than 57.5
Tabs for the given specifications?

Best Regards

What is meant by "up to 1 kHz linear phase and constant group delay"? Assuming this means linear phase from dc to 1
kHz, you might try converting your FIR filter to minimum phase (MATLAB has a function to do this). This will reduce
group delay, but also make phase non-linear. Possibly the phase response from dc to 1 kHz is still acceptable.
