I hope they make both AD and DA converters.
There is no reason to make only 16 bit DA;
where people gets 16 bit samples?

And one important thing is to make really good filters to it.
Before AD converter and after DA converter.
Stereo is enough, no reason to make four DA's - Amiga is not a synth.

One big mistage is that Amiga 500/2000 haven't AD converters.
It's quite easy make 8 bit AD converter, but has somebody done AD
chip, which works like Paula; i.e. read samples to memory
automatically?
