DAC Advice
DAC is an acronym for Digital-to-Analogue Converter. This describes the process by which a digital data stream (for instance from an MP3 Player or a CD Player) is converted into an analogue audio signal, ready for amplification.
An essential part of almost all modern Hi-Fi systems, DACs are becoming more present as separate, stand-alone units. Both the technology itself and the terminology used to describe them can be very confusing, especially if you are new to the world of audio.
If you are not sure about your asynchronous USB, 24/192, adaptive transfer mode, clock, digital pre-amplifier, jitter, or timing, then please do not worry - you are not alone.
