So...yes and no. There are only a few chip makers. Some do use resistor ladders and FPGA chips which in essence are customizable chips. But you are right. In the end, the design, implementation along with part quality is what really matters.

ibmjunkman As I understand it the actual DA function is done by a single chip ... Am I wrong?Yes. It's quite common for DACs use multiple chips, such as in balanced configurations. And as @verdantaudio noted, some use FPGA chips, which are essentially custom chips. |
