With "1-bit" ADC and DAC technology being the accepted trend in
digital home audio, why do there appear to be no 1-bit ADC or
DAC chips available for lab or industrial instrumentation
applications?  I have an application where I'd really like to
have the linearity benefits attributed to 1-bit conversion,
for my thesis experiment.
