The actual BA piece as corrected by Colin is similar to the SAMDAC - except that it only has ONE 8-bit DAC. This allows four 6 bit channels mixing (6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 8 obviously... 2^6 * 4 = 2^8). The SAMDAC had TWO 8-bits DACS (one for left channel one for right channel) allowing two 7 bit channels on left stereo and two 7 bit channels on right stereo.
The Quazar has FOUR 8-bit DACS (which can be combined to TWO 16-bit DACs if memory serves me correctly).
