Before the silence breaks, there is the ladder. Not of wood or stone, but of laser-trimmed thin-film resistors—a staircase of 65,536 steps (for the purist’s 16-bit) or a near-infinite climb into 24-bit architecture. Each rung is a Vishay or a Takman. Each step, a choice between 0 and 1, made analog. r2r opus
