Default DDS Spurs

I'm considering building a DDS to use as a VFO. I've heard of concerns
about the close in spurs which can be a problem. However, I think I can
address the close in spurs caused by phase quantization. I should be
able to get those to the -120 dB ballpark. The spurs caused by
amplitude quantization would limited by the DAC which will be a lot
worse for higher sample rates. But -96 dB ballpark is not inconceivable.
