Why NOS?

I've noticed a lot of interest here in non-oversampled DACs.

I was wondering what is wrong with over-sampling? I learned the theory in college and it seems sound enough (mathematically anyway).

Does anyone know what would make oversampled DACs sound worse than non-oversampled? Is oversampling just poorly implemented?

why is oversampling in CD players considered bad?

Why NON-OS?
