DA interface
project that I found some months ago..
vaguely rings a bell. more recently ive seen SDR-Widget, as radio is quite demanding of
ADC noise-floor quietness, flatness - eg most Intel HDA cards are not really capable of
192khz sampling with a fixed ~22KHz brickwall LPF (prevent aliasing at low samplerates)
which isnt switched to a different LPF at higher rates (cost reasons presumably) and even
"good" cards like emu 0202 could be improved upon..

This looks good to study--that analog board has great noise characteristics.
And the IC uses I2S, another standard bus that could be good to use.
Overall, what I'm most impressed by is their timeline--completed the
device plus linux drivers in about 1 year.
