I didn't say it would help.... It's just a sneaky way of getting a high-res
AD-conversion.
The anti-aliasing filter could be very simple thanks to the high
sampling-frequency.

Note: in the decoding part of a sigma-delta conversion there's a sum of
quantisation errors.

Hmmm, this is a nice method for making samples. But I don't think this would
work in real-time. (Unless you'd want to give up on your P6-200!!!)
