Well I don't yet own a Due and not up to the task just yet of taking on the huge datasheet for this uP, but they must talk about this range restriction if indeed it's a hardware based restriction. I just find it very hard to except at this time that there is a legitimate reason for this. I guess it could be compensated for with external op-amp with a -.55v offset, but still there just must be more to this subject then 'that's just the way it is'? It's really not a problem for audio type applications as one could just capacitance couple the signal, but for precision DC DAC applications, not being able to reach ground potential is a pretty big deal, no?
