Just wondering...
If the music producer can record music as PWM (pulse width modulation)
signal direct
onto CD.
Than a "class-D" CD player doesn't need a Digital-Analog converter.
The PWM signal can be feed direct to a class D power amplifier.
This can save a lot of "signal conversion'"



One word. Jitter.



More words, noise, pops, cracks, dropouts.


I sugested going out of the converter unfiltered, but basically you
need a digital to PWM converter to get the digital benefits.
