eBay Find

I bought two of these boards off eBay for $10. Like an idiot I didn’t notice the seller had ‘make an offer’ enabled; I’d have bought more and probably paid less. I’m interested in the DAC and a couple other parts. Too bad that Spartan is a BGA, since I don’t have any reballing equipment.

I’d love to know what they were originally for. Have any idea? There’s an Analog Devices AD9761 TxDAC, so that leads me to believe the board was used for some RF purpose. But there’s no RF connectors, so I could be wrong.
