Hi,

On a most basic level, but including history and having the benefit of being bang up to date:

Especially the "sidebar" on PCM and DSD.

Something that might be mistaken as an article how to make tube stages for DAC's starts out with a fairly detailed look at DAC Technologies.

Lynn Olson is a by far more accomplished writer than myself and his "Mountains and Fog" series of articles makes good reading:

THE original article that re-vivified the old zero oversampling technique as valid, by Kusonoki San:

That should get you started. There are occasional references and google is your friend...

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
