Trivial? Yes. Well known? No. I know too many engineers who treat
delta-sigma modulators as kind of black magic and don't even want
to touch them. Yes, the math behind it is a bit intricate. There are
things that we cannot even calculate (only simulate), but a second
order D-S modulator will get you quite far and is easy to do.

If anyone wants reading material on that topic, let me know.
