![]() The sound card that’s built into your computer and feeds its headphone jack is an example of a DAC. Simply put, a DAC, as its name suggests, converts digital audio information (comprising 1s and 0s) into an analog signal that can be sent to headphones, powered speakers, amplifiers, and/or receivers, to be heard and enjoyed by the listener.Īnytime you’re listening to music, watching a movie, or even enjoying a YouTube video on a computer, the digital audio data is first sent through a DAC that converts the 1s and 0s to the analog waveforms that our headphones and home stereos deliver to our ears as music. These digital devices include (but are not limited to) CD players, laptops, computers, tablets, smartphones, and televisions. Little-known fact: Digital-to-analog converters are used in all digital devices that have the ability to send an audio signal or play music.
