Subject description: why?
Forum:  DIY Hardware and Software » Developers' Corner
I have seen some designed using the LM13700 OTA that instead of using their on-chip darlington, they use an external Opamp to the effect.

What they are trying to solve by using Opamps?

Thanks is makes sense!

Another related basic question.

While summing all OSCs / or Voices, at some pointing it is possible that it starts clipping / saturate the values.

Let me clarify my question. There are two scenarios:

- On a voice, how do you mix the OSC?
Eg: you have a Square Osc, sub-Square Osc, etc how do you sum it? in DC or AC?

- How do you mix multip ...

Most of the schematics mixers I see are mixing with DC ( a resistor divisor and then a buffer) but, does it makes sense to mix voices in AC, removing any of the offset ?

I think this is really a non-issue that is being blown out of proportion due to a lack of understanding of DSP fundamentals.

For each sample

Ah, you have a DSD input signal. Smile

Let's see...

DSD bit rate = 44.1 ksamp/sec * 64 * 1 bit/samp = 2.8224 Mbit/sec
PCM (16-bit) rate = 44.1 ksamp/sec * 16 bit/sample = 705.6 kbit/sec

I think you may have some better luck researching sigma delta DACs rather than pure DSD which works best if the source signal is a 1 bit stream (like SACD).
