[sdiy] News in the 16bit DAC game!

[Tom Wiltshire]

Whilst it is always sad to lose old friends, don't cry too much about  
it. There comes a time for them to go.

There are still loads of good DACs out there. Cirrus will sell you a  
24-bit, 192KHz audio DAC for a couple of dollars. It'll manage 16-bit  
resolution with one hand tied behind its back. AD still have an  
enormous range of all kinds of DACs.
