Steve,
Hmmm, the second method you mentioned sounds more like what I'm referring
to. The amplitude control bits _definitely_ ain't it, as I distinctly
remember people talking about 8 bit audio/ 6 bit amplitude and _then_
saying "…and it's got this high resolution mode too…". Besides, you
know as well as or better than I that 8 bits with 4 bits of amplitude
control is NOT equivalent to a 14 bit DAC for several reasons.
I'd say your second approach was it, save for one thing… the comments
I've read refer to stacking the two channels on each side together for a
single left and right output. Almost sounds like there's a mode that slips
DAC A's 8 bits inside the LSB of DAC B. Any other clues?
P.S., If you're gonna change the amplitude bits "on the fly", with the CPU,
as bits of the waveform proper, then you're gonna eat up one HECK of a lot
of processor time. I gotta think there's an easier way.
