Just a few niggling points:>As a point of interest the world's first comercial CD player, the SONY CDP101 was a 16 bit player with no oversampling. Without oversampling and digital filtering these early players required extensive (read expensive) analog ouput filtering.
(addendum): in order to compare well in print, to the measurements of phono playback"
>It is for this reason that Sony and Philips (and then everyone else) turned to oversampling as this allowed for filteing in the digital domain and little or no analog output filtering.
Actually, Philips initiated consumer oversampling because their first products contained 14 bit DACs (their 16 bit DACs weren't yet in production). Oversampling was used to increase output resolution to 16 bit performance. Gotta make that new product intro.
