DAC resolution / availability

  Right. But I have this question: Anyone know of any 12-bit DACs
(parallel input)

  that are A) of good quality,  B) reasonably priced, and C) Available?

  I know I can get 8-bit DACs all day long from many suppliers, but 12
bitters

  seem to be a bit difficult to procure (at least in Oregon where I
live).


  Anyone have any advice / part numbers / manufacturers they might
suggest?

  (this would probably benefit a lot of us, having a central database
for stuff like this....)
