Which models and brands of CD players are using the single bit, 
heavily oversampled technology?  I saw in our local newspaper that
several vendors are pursuing this technique.  True?

It would seem to me that the single bit technology would be a good
cost saving measure, since the tolerances in the D/A circuitry
would not have to be as precise as with an 18 bit D/A.  Does this
mean I can expect single bit technology on the low end players soon?
