Personally, I'd experiment with the AD9951 DDS chip, it's spurious
outputs are very low....

However, if somebody wants a DDS for direct conversion experiments, the
AD9854 DDS has built in quadrature outputs which make it tempting. This
website discusses a complete design and, the kit can be gotten from Kanga.
It is pricy, but in my opinion, it has everything I would need.....

The only drawback is that it's spurious outputs are higher.
