If you're interested in sample rates below 50 kHz, you should have a
look at the Crystal 5326.  This is the converter used in the newer Sony
DAT machines.  The best thing about it is that the anti-aliasing filter
is a single R and C (it's a "one-bit" converter).  Also, you can change
the sampling rate by changing the clock rate.  The built-in
anti-aliasing filter tracks the clock rate.  It is also a stereo part.
