It’s a very complex design and not everyone needs 10 Hz to 300 kHz oscillator. Measurement results could be of interest to you as they contain AP’s oscillator measurements for comparison. Page with all related documents and measurements:

These days, for audio, there are cheap fixed frequency oscillators that reach -150 dBc distortion below 2 Vrms (Viktor’s and EOSC10KV4 by Frex) or DAC by IVX.

this documentation is fire!!! WOW. It is a very complex design and measurement show significant improvement over my AP Generator. Has anyone ever built it successfully?
I think it would be easier to have a fixed frequency ultra low noise/distortion for special measurements. I have inquired info on the Viktor's post as it seems extremely good.

I have found very interesting the comparisons on the different type of resistors and Welwyn RC55Y resistors produces lowest distortion among metal films and even lower than metal foil Vishay S102!!

I believe these Welwyn, were also re-branded as the red PRP for "audio use". I wonder if they produce a surface mount version of these RC55Y that produces same results.
