Does anyone out there have a reference to any publication
that has detailed the format, bit density, ECC and oversampling
techniques used in the more recent CD players?

Any good article references would be greatly appreciated.

A request was posted for a technical reference, here is one I know of:

Philips Technical Review
Vol 40, 1982, No. 6
pp 150-179

Page 177 figure 5 in the above reference should answer all questions about
ripple in real world digital filters for CD players.

P.S. Does anyone know about the availability of the Sony 520-ES. I've
had one on order for 2 months now? Also, I got a quote for $500 for
this machine has anyone found a lower price?
