ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

[Tim Curtis]

I don't see a huge advantage to soldering the header in. You need that skill level to do the dac assembly anyhow. The more interesting board design implementation might be to set it up to take two dac assemblies with some phase splitter circuitry to create a differential output dac. However!, I probably wouldn't build one if it were avaiable, so this is not a real request. :-)

IMO having the header pre-soldered would be a real convenience and increase the accessibility of the already super fine  ProtoDAC. I couldn't imagine for example ordering a Pi-Zero w/o a header already soldered in.
