differential amplifier in delta sigma converter
A differential amplifier amplifies the difference between the two input voltages but suppresses any voltage common to the two inputs   
VO = Ad (V1 - V2) **(ideal differential amplifier)**.  
The differential Gain (Ad = – (R3 / R1))  
CMRR = 20 logs (Ad / Ac)  
![differencial amplifier](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/NBSzVcJ6Xt1DuYmKtCG5RdNT)  

so as an example:  V1=5.005  V2=4.995  Ad=100   **(ideal opamp)**  
VO = Ad(V1 - V2)  
VO = 100(5.005-4.995)  
VO = 1 volt

so now the questions:  

 1. why we need only the difference?
 2. in the delta-sigma converter why we are substracting an input with an delayed input?
 3. why we need a differential amplifier in the delta-sigma converter?

 Note: am a beginner fascinated by electronics I did a lot of reading before I post my questions here so if my questions look a little stupid bear with me and guide me that gonna be nice of you.
