MCP4726 has 2 separate pins, VDD and VREF that can be both used as external Vref depending on configuration.

MCP4728 has only one external vref pin, VDD pin. The other vref source is internal and fixed to 2.048V.

Furthermore MCP4728  has four independent channels. For each channels it's possible to choose whether

using VDD (External VRef) or 2.048V (Internal Vref).
