From the project
a two-channel fully-differential digital-to-analog converter
mStereo is a two-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for audio. It is under active development.
This repo is built and maintained with Linux users in mind. Some contents are .pdf or plain text so the repo may be cloned and those files may be opened irrespective of the platform. Users wishing to use the Kicad project and other Kicad files by cloning and/or forking the repo can do so in Linux: no support is implied for OSX or windows users (although generally, OSX users should experience no problems).
