Dadamachines Doppler: FPGA open music hardware

So the only advantage is that you can feed the DAC 1:1?

FPGAs are difficult to program, that’s a pretty steep cost to save you the trouble of downsampling your signal, something which is already pretty damn easy to do.

16x oversampling is fine, DSPs are fine. DXD is snake oil.

Sure you can make an equally good synth without fpgas or dxd. I'm not trying to sell you this design. However it's educational to think about when and how it makes technical sense. I do agree that marketing turns it into brain damaged bullet points pretty often.
