imho that would SUCK...

(no seriously :^)

I think that running the BBDs at different clocks is a recipe for suck-dom.
Problem is you need to recover the analog signal at each output then re-inject
it into the next input. Any residual clock may cause beating which could reflect

into the audio range (unless the filters are really really good). And the
sampling
apertures will not match, so you will be smearing the individual samples a lot.

I'm not one for series connection of BBDs unless its with a synchronous clock...

That said... its a BBD so it would suck anyway :^P    If I had to try this I'd
probably
go with a scheme like delta modulation (like DeltaLab)... and I'd make the
memory
elements or shift registers of different lengths. Easier to tap a one bit
digital signal
imho.

did I mention that BBDs SUCK ???    :^P

H^) harry  (hey, lay off me... I did preserve the Panasonic data book for
posterity
so my hearts in the right place... in a jar on my desk :^)
