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

RE: Digital improving -final

Scanning around, I found an old Analog Devices spec-sheet (for a 20-bit DAC) which claimed noise of -120db. But only if you employ the extra (recommended) capacitors. In reality, it was probably -115db. Still low, but some are now claiming -140db, in a complete D/A device.

I then found a research paper by TI that talked about clock-noise. But the report also mentioned 'intrinsic' DAC-noise. So, you're right -the question is how much...
