<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello list.. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>after thinking that digital pots where the way to
go, i'm starting to have my doubts.. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my major problems with them are </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>audio noise when audio is run straight thru them to
attenuate into a mixer and. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Update noise.. since they're serial, i have to
update them all at once, i think i get noise on each update..
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>would I get better performance if I used them to
control the gain of an opamp instead? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OR,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>would it be better to go with some sort of setup of
DAC and VCA.. like an 8-bit DAC going into an SSM2164 or something?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>any input on this would be spectacular, as i'm
rather annoyed with the background zipper sounds.. :-P </FONT></DIV>
