Math is done in SHARC dsp chips and yes, actual conversion happens in discrete components. Kinda similar to what Rob (Chord) is doing with his dacs alas he uses FPGA to upsample and delta sigma modulation, different tools but the goal is similiar.My understanding is that all signal processing is carried out by SHARC FPGAs, with the signal then fed to a discrete FIR DAC.
