I was browsing through delta-sigma modulaotrs for DACs. I have the following understanding. Can someone explain/correct me if I am right on wrong

1. The integrator which is a linear system in itself in itself makes the input to the quantizer linear,
2. The Quantizer is a non linear block, Because the amount of error that can be introduced is signal dependent. For example (a+b) * x may not be equal to x*a + x* b. Because the sum of a+b may be introduced t a different quantization error than a and b y itself.

Ideas/insight may be very useful
