Default Class D power amplifier---what about class-D CD?

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'"


This is how SACD works. Sony marketed it aggressively for a while, but
seems to have given up on it. It has good points and bad ones, and
was extensively discussed here five or six years ago when it was a hot
topic.
