I found a MAX525 for less than half of the usual price, but the just one (BCPP+ version). My question was - would it be enough to make a 4-channel AOUT, or does it only work with 2? Can the 2 dacs be different versions?
The ucapps page says you need 2…
While we at it - is AOUT still worth building, or is AOUT_NG the way to go? Yes, I do want the best precision for VCOs - but does AOUT really outperform NG in real world?
I see no reason while this should not work. Maybe someone can confirm this though. My Aout is burried under pcbs in my synth so i can´t just pull a chip.
I have not yet tried the AOUT_NG. I assume it is good enough. The VCOs we want to controll are propably the limiting factor when it comes to tuning…

Yes, I bet VCOs would be less stable than a 12bit DAC (I’m building YUsynth VCOs btw).
Makes it hard to decide… I do want the best, but don’t want to pay extra for an overkill either.
Considering the price of a commercial MIDI to CV I would pay for the second DAC 
.
Anyway I think it will work with one MAX too

Yes, the prices for comparable commercial products are just insane.
Anyway, I bought the DAC - worst case scenario I’ll just buy an other one for 30 euro. :ahappy: I’ll need 8 CVs for my modular anyway.
TK has confirmed in the past that the MAX AOUT module will work with 1 DAC. A revised module is in development that would give the option to choose between 2 DACs for 1 Core or 1 DAC per Core for 2 Cores.
