Making sound with digital logic usually calls for a Digital to Analog converter. Building one can be very simple, and the sound quality out of an R-2R Ladder is actually pretty good. In the last ...

Combining PWM with a small R-2R ladder improves both. It reduces PWM ripple significantly and increases the DAC’s resolution. In this Design Idea, an eight-resistor array and three output pins ...

In this series of DAC Basics, we start out by briefly discussing three architectures (Figure 1). This will give us a good frame of reference as we work through the critical digital-to-analog converter ...

Can HiFiMAN’s new flagship desktop DAC/Amplifier improve over its predecessor? We’ll find out soon. HIFIMAN today announced the EF1000DAC ($15,000), a new reference desktop DAC/amplifier featuring the ...
