Or you could pass the PWM output of  an AVR through an RC followed by an
OPAMP to get the desired voltage.
I use 100K resistor and 0.1uF capacitor. It will depend on the amount of
Ripple allowed in the output and the settling time.

Yes, but they are expensive ($30-$40each) and require separate power
supplies. You can also find ones with 4-20ma current loop outputs that
can be converted to 10V with a resistor. Try Burr Brown
(www.burr-brown.com)if you really need these. The simplist and probably
cheapest approach is to simply follow the output of the DAC with a
25cent opamp with gain set to aprox. 2 .
