A DSD data stream is composed of pulses that are basically
integrated to produce an analog signal. Pulses have a value of
either +1 or -1. Alternate pulses with opposite polarities sum out
to zero. If the pulses are predominately +1, then the integrated
signal goes positive. The more predominately the pulses are +1, the
faster the integrated signal goes positive. If the pulses are
predominately -1 then the integrated signal goes minus, and so on.


Didn't that used to be called 1-bit DPCM?


Here are block diagrams of a DPCM coder and decoder

On page 7 of

there is a block diagram of a DSD decoder.

Don't look the same to me.
