This started out innocuously enough in a post around these parts, now it has become a fairly comprehensive overview of high-end and midrange converter chips with some performance figures from the '90s into the present day, and even a few links to papers and the like are included along with some "family relations". Oh my.
A Brief History of Audio DAC and ADC Chip Performance
Let me know whether I missed any important parts, got something wrong (almost certainly the case), or what I could improve; maybe some of you will be able to dig up more papers as well. My notes are a bit of an unstructured mess at this point, I may have to tackle that.
This has to be one of the largest entries on this page, which has now become my biggest one (459K at this point) - I may give it a page of its own eventually. Thank goodness I turned on gzip compression for various file types years ago, and HTML happens to compress well.
