Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Schiit's spin

Hi, morricab,

Yup, the Ultra Analog DAC modules were widely regarded as state of the art at the time. However, as for every industry, the IC industry is largely driven by pressure for cost reduction. That drove the release of full resolution 20bit and 24bit DAC ICs, such as the PCM1702, AD1862 and PCM1704 over discrete or hybrid DAC modules. Cost later drove the wide scale transistion to sigma-delta DAC technology that rules today.
