Motion control systems often require digital-to-analog converters with high resolution but not high accuracy. Because high-accuracy DACs are expensive and consume valuable board space, a good solution ...
I was delighted when reader and DI contributor Jim Brannan proposed writing up his base-3 DAC design. Like Charlieplexing, his idea makes use of tristate outputs to wring more information from a pin ...
Topping’s $1,799 D900 DAC/Preamp debuts with a custom PSRM 1-bit engine, analog volume control and 10-band PEQ. Topping’s new D900 isn’t just another DAC/Preamp—it’s a calculated middle finger to ...
When someone notices that two 8-bit DACs can be bought for less than one 16-bit DAC, a classic question is often asked: Why can’t you simply take two 8-bit DACs, assign one to the MSByte, the other to ...
Our trip through the world of audio technology has taken us step-by step from your ears into a typical home Hi-Fi system. We’ve seen the speakers and the amplifier, now it’s time to take a look at ...
Use of pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) continues to expand, both as standalone parts and as embedded functional blocks in system-on-a-chip (SoC) ICs. They boast acceptable resolution at ...
