physical interface between Cyclone III & DAC

Hello to all, I am working on a test waveform generator project using the Cyclone III starter kit (3C25N). Once synthesized on the FPGA, the waveform will be sent to a DAC so that it can be vi...

It's easy to remove the transformers, and the boards already have jumper options to DC couple the ADC and DAC analog interfaces.

I was able to successfully set up the interface between the DAC and the FPGA. So thanks for the all the help/suggestions on that part. I am trying to implement some form of offset control at the output of the DAC. Since the output is AC-coupled I'm going to remove the transformer and solder 2 surface-mount resistors on the Terasic board. Is that what you meant by jumper options?
