Here's the CD "quad-sample, dual D/A" summary that I promised a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for all the responses! As many of you pointed out, the September issue of Digital Audio had this information. For those of you who didn't see it, here is the list of all known machines of this type. All except the Mission DAD-7000 have a digital output filter as well.
