More discrete R2R Mulibit dacs.

There are many now going to the trouble of doing discrete R2R Mulitbit now that the last/latest Burr Brown PCM1704 multibit chip is no longer available "rip".

Granted, it's only 20 bit, but it's still a true R-2R ladder. And expensive at minimum $60 a pop.

I think the one in the AMR DP777 R2R multibit Dac was from a similar use. Cheers George.
