crow,
unless d/a - a/d systems have fallen in price radically, that could be a
limiting factor. it used to be ( is it still ? ) that increasing accuracy
cost quite a bit more. plus, what is enough ? 10 bit ? 12 bit ? 16 bit ? i`m
not sure if those newer cheap d/a`s that are used in cd players, etc. are
compatible with this sort of application. may need to fall back to the old
brute force approach.
