I started doing some research as to why and to educate myself a bit more on the topic. Came across this article which I thought was interesting. Delta-Sigma vs R-2R. http://sw1xad.co.uk/technology_post/...r-dac-designs/ |
That's great to hear, Serge. I am very pleased that this purchase has worked out so well for you. I'll have to read that article, thanks.
