Jade, dac & pre ampli̇fi̇er

In this age of €20’000 DACs that drive stock Sabre with fixed outputs, variable Jade does more for less. And she still splits her 24-bit converter register into two halves to process the less/least significant bits like the more significant bits (at higher amplitude for better linearity) before resetting the lower half to the proper lower values in the analog domain; a scheme Cees calls error forward correction.
