RE: DSD [A Reprise]...

"Sure Sony invented "DSD". They are credited with developing and bringing practical application of sigma-delta modulation ADC to the audio entertainment industry, and they called it DSD."

I would not confuse inventing with marketing a technology for a particular application.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak brought 1 bit audio technology to the telephone hacking community with the Apple II (or maybe Apple I) around 1980. The built in speaker was connected to a software controlled flip flop. Generating the two tones for a Blue Box required a form of pulse density modulation, since at least three level signaling was needed to sum the output of two square waves.
