Digital-to-Analog Converter. It's a device that converts a digital audio bitstream (from a CD or DVD, etc.) into an analog audio signal that your amplifier will accept.
Digital audio devices (CD, DVD, iPod, PC soundcards etc.) have DACs built in, as do HT receivers with digital inputs. Some DACs are higher quality than others, which is why using a digital connection may sound better or worse than an analog connection depending on your gear. You can get external DAC boxes as well, to upgrade the sound quality of your CD player.Comment

We are going to be exploring and trying to keep up with all the new and latest technologies in the realm of Digital Audio! This is something that I'm pretty passionate about, so I'm hoping we can bring some more people in and start getting great discussions on ways to get audio on and off our computers...
