[sdiy] DACs on-board 12 vs external 16 vs 24 bit

> Justin's case was specifically an oscillator, and he didn't even mention wanting level control done digitally, so I assumed we'd be using the full bit depth/SN ratio and outputting signals at full volume. Similarly, I assumed that we've got one DAC outputting one signal - this is a long way from sending a full mix of many instruments through one DAC. I wasn't recommending using a 12-bit DAC for mastering your DAW or anything like it!


All correct assumptions - thanks.
