So I did, and found a description of the analog to digital
converter chip used in the Sony Hi-MD recorders.

The Asahi Kasei Microsystems Co. makes the AK5356 series. 
The IC's functions include:
-- 20-bit 2-channel A/D converter
-- microphone preamplifier capable of ~60dB gain
-- analog volume circuit
-- condenser microphone power supply (2.16 V, up to 1mA)

Read more technical specs here:

The manufacturer's technical manual is found here:
