Which could be 0%...in theory of course :-). I have used a Burns R2R resnet
for the past 12 years or so to generate sounds for pedestrian crossing
signals, it is not a HIFI system but never noticed any difference in sound
in the some 20,000 units made (shipped to a few countries too).

By the way the cost is nowhere near the >$2 mentioned  before, it takes very
little room, don't need a buffer as I use the audio amp for buffering.
