MOTM

depends on how much precision you want. I've reccently used the AD7945 
12bit DAC for a module that generates CV.  For my application I didn't 
need any more precesion than that. I'm updating it at about 100KHz and 
it should go quite a bit faster than that. order some samples to try.

also, Paul posted something about this on the SDIY list once, look here:
