Most of the world really can not. It can only get up to 16, and that's with shady suppliers thanks to China ignoring international law.
- stephen_g 2y agoWhat is this meant to mean? There are plenty of 24- (and more) bit DACs available to ship world-wide on Digi-Key, Mouser etc... There are some US export controls on DACs that have high bit-rates and high output rates (mostly over 3500 MSPS) which is far in excess of what you'd need for most things. And US export controls aren't 'international law'...
- pjc50 2y agoI happen to work at the "more bits" store: https://cirrus.com/products/cs5302p/ https://cirrus.com/products/cs5302p/ (ok, "32 bits" and "126db" aren't quite the same, but those who need to know understand the difference and why the extra bits are still useful)
