I know their are a couple of 'pseudo multi-bit' modulators as you put it in the instruction manual. I have assumed these are modulators that use multiple 1 bit modulators in parallel with unary coded quantizer and filter loop, Like a 3 level system that we might call 1.5 bit binary.
pseudo multi-bit because actually binary introduces its set of issues like glitch issues and increased noise levels due to more switches moving at once. These things are already problematic even in a fully digital system like HQPlayer on a PC, long before any analog conversion and dynamic element matching.
What about the AHM5EC5L and 7EC5L? Are these 'pseudo multi-bit' and does the 5L refer to 5 levels?
Thanks
