Amplifiers in this case, but the same principle applies to DACs (or any source).
The problem in that is, it's hard to follow that. Especially in DACs it's hard to measure their accuracy.
True, and in this context roughly 2 (engineering) schools can be distinguished:
- High-tech ΔΣ-based solutions.
- Puristic, minimalist approaches based on classic Multibit DAC chips, or discrete R-2R solutions, sometimes without filter, NOS, with class A output stage (possibly without feedback).
The first category seems to be increasingly moving towards information technology.
Personally, I find this development interesting and logical (as I only use digital sources), but I have my doubts regarding ΔΣ and the output sections of such solutions (of which I also own a few).
