Yes, as of about 1985 or so. Single chips from the last 30-35 years have two separate D/A converters.
Generally, the "problem" was just a constant time delay in one channel, which wasn't really a problem, since it could literally be fixed by shifting one speaker a couple of millimeters. The first CD players also only had 14 bit converters, but again, that "problem" was solved within a year or two as new chips became available. That could be audible as a slightly increased noise floor if you boost the volume during extremely quiet passages.
Aaaaaah ok. This is very clear now, thanks!
