An edit war prompted me to review the Further reading and External links sections. I did not change Further reading. The ADI handbook appears be a valuable and accessible resource - lets not remove it. There were some things in External links that might be useful as references but the glssary link was the only thing that struck me as potentially valuable. Here are the links I removed. --Kvng (talk) 04:08, 16 August 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Kvng,

I agree on removing:

- Controlling the X79000 FlexDAC with a Rotary Encoder

- Audio Hi-Fi DAC build

- Resistor/PWM Hybrid DAC

- INL/DNL Measurements for High-Speed ADCs

- How to build a Digital to Analog converter

But the other links are very useful, especially to practicing engineers.

Please consider reinstating them.

Thank You. 65.51.198.50 (talk) 23:09, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for reviewing this. I have restored the following as requested. ~Kvng (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

FWIW, this article is mentioned very-slightly critically in this video. --Gmaxwell (talk) 01:38, 27 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The text in the application section in no way describes a typical long distance telephone call. The voice public switched telephone network is not a packetized network. Phone calls over land lines have dedicated bandwidth from one end to the other. This section describes a voip system, which typical long distance calls are not. 73.177.133.8 (talk) 04:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I wouldn't be so sure about that. VoIP techniques are definitely in use by telephone carriers for long-distance calls. I'm not sure what's considered typical at this point. Long-distance calling is a bit dated and doesn't say much about this. ~Kvng (talk) 12:51, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think the article is nice and functions properly for anyone really interested. Thanks for the author(s)! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.253.205.8 (talk) 23:58, 6 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
