[sdiy] 16 Bit, 32 channel D/A converter from Maxim

[John Speth]

And even broadly speaking about Maxim: Beware.  What you see is not always
what you get.  I think they announce "new" products to test the market and
see who bites.  When the big customer gets on board, they produce them.
When the big customers jumps ship, they stop producing leaving the little
guys empty handed.  Our buyers told engineering to avoid Maxim parts because
of this practice.
