    Does an FPGA Chip Convert Digital to Analog?

    Hi all, I have the Esoteric N05XD. It uses an FPGA "Modulator" and then 64 bit DAC which I think is a ladder configuration. I read the FPGA thread on here about what it does etc. So is my N05XD a ladder dac or Delta Sigma? Here is the flow chart. Thanks
