What is are the date codes for the two devices? I'm curious to know if they
are young or NOS.

Subject: Re: VECTOR: AD561JN DAC compatibility
Following up on this, I got around to swapping the bad DAC on this Asteroids
board. Here it is running the AD561JN on the X circuit:
I believe this is perfectly acceptable. I also purchased an AD561J to
compare against, but unfortunately it appears to be defective, with
instability on the far right edge of the image: http://i.imgur.com/q8LH0.jpg
The only thing I note with the JN vs. 561J is that the JN seems to output a
somewhat smaller image, though it is correctable with the X trimmer pot, and
could be due to differences from one production run to another.

around the datasheet, and it looks like the only difference is that JN uses
a plastic housing instead of the ceramic used by the JD chips. They're rated
the same in every other regard, so I assume they will work the same, but I
thought I'd ask to see if anyone has done it.
