Cheap DACs

Can't be used for what exactly?

Sure they could be used for some AOUT stuff, but they're not currently supported by MIOS, they're only two channels and they're around $4 at Digikey in small numbers, so 4 of them wouldn't be really cheaper than the TLV5630 that is used on the AOUT_NG, plus they'd take up more PCB area.

Of course there are dozens and hundreds of DACs that could theoretically be used to generate CV voltages, so you're free to layout a suitable PCB and write the necessary new MIOS driver for the DAC of your choice ;)

I didn't say their performance is inferior, at least it would be better than with the AOUT_LC module. They're just not really practical for an 8 channel design. For a 2 channel AOUT this DAC would probably be ok, but there's no PCB and no software support for it so you'd need to do all that on your own. For a cheap and basic 2 channel solution I'd recommend using the AOUT_LC module.
