I know this would be a somewhat odd request...
I'm looking to build my own variation of a DAC.
The end goal is to have a computer connect to a black box (SPDIF,MADI?) to output multichannel (6-8 prefferably) audio digitally and have the box convert the serial data into parallel outputs in such a way that all 16-24 bits of all channels will each have it's own 0-5v digital output. (serial to parallel done by microcontroller, probably)
From there I would be able to drive LEDs or process the audio with a microcontroller (build/program my own dithering, upsampling, volume control and the like) or directly control some fets to recreate the audio as a DAC would but on a higher scale (wattage)
I'm am no audiophile, nor do I know how my system would sound if the parallel'd data was converted back into an analogue waveform. But I'm very good with a datasheet and a dream.
Thanks in advance for your input.
