Those 8 pin DAC chips do a good job.What interface do you neead? I2C,SPI,Parallel..

That's ADC, not DAC.

this is 2-bit, i think you could add more though.

You can, but for an n-bit converter, it takes 2^n-1 comparators, e.g., for 8 bits, you need 255 comparators.
The advantage is, it can be very fast if you use fast comparators.

I typed it wrong.Sory ops:
I know its an ADC (Analog Digital conveter) and not DAC (Digital Analog Converter)

You beter find an IC that dose this.Making one togeter yourself will be a huge circuit.

How many bits do you need?

One bit is the simplist.
