HELP!! I'm trying to find out (for a friend and for personal interest) more about the fancy D/A algoritms people like Philips and Sony are using. Could someone please explain to me, or point me to some papers, that explain oversampling, BitStream, and similar systems? Is BitStream a trade name?, because I haven't found anything on it in the litrature. Thanks and paghty Jim Uther jimu@cd.su.OZ.AU

Can't help you with BitStream, but as for oversampling, see: Wayne Schott, "Philips Oversampling System for Compact Disc Decoding," Audio, April 1984, 32-35. For a good general text, see: Ken C. Pohlmann, Principles of Digital Audio, (Indianapolis, IN: Howard W. Sams & Co., 1985). (There's a second edition out now.) Pohlmann also wrote a good explanation of the MASH ("1-bit") D/A in his "Insider Audio" column in Mix magazine a year or two ago. Bill Alves
