I think these kinds of DACs are meant to be clocked out at some fixed sample rate, like 44.1KHz and your software has to stuff a FIFO so there is some milliseconds of delay in the queue. Before you use these write some pseudo-code and see if you can make it work. One idea is to never write to

Now that my TIC is working with Bert's board, I'm considering taking the next step of designing a GPSDO from scratch.  There are several projects I'd like to do with a dsPIC33, so that was a natural choice.  But I now understand that it has an "audio" DAC and is not recommended for process contr
