It is easy to design stable sigma delta converters of orders higher than two. I have calculated a 7th order ADC which is implemented on silicon and stable of coarse. A 11th order sigma delta with oversampling ratio 128 is stable in simulation and has 228dB snr. {This is no typo two hundred and twenty eight dB) Higher order sigma delta converter require higher order reconstruction filters but it is easy to design for more bandwidth than needed and so to relax the filter spec.
