The thermometer bits are in regards to multibit unary code DSD. You need to implement a DSM (Delta Sigma Modulator) With the quantizer set to your specific number of levels to generate this. BTW I'm working on a really high quality multilevel DSD DAC using this technology right now. So some time in the future it might be useful to implement this in the software ;) No hurry, let's get PCM working really well before branching out here. (CSP4?) On the camel front, about 15 years ago my wife and I were taking a friend's young children to the zoo and when we got close to the camel enclosure we heard some strange sounds, it turned out the camels were mating, try explaining THAT!
