Alternative to HAGDAC
« on: 16 Jan 2006, 07:33 pm »
Someone just pointed this out to me.  You can buy the PCM1704 DAC evaluation board from TI for just $399.

It's similar to a HAGDAC, but missing the reclocking and onboard regulators.  Also uses opamps for I-V and filtering.  Oh yeah, it's much larger and split into two boards.  Uh, you also have to program it with a windows PC.  And it doesn't have the low-noise tricks I put into HAGDAC.  It won't plug into a CHIME.  But hey, it's probably better than other DIY DACs at that price point.

jh :)
