DAC

The model of the digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) installed in the CD player.

The DAC is one of the most important components of any modern CD player. It is this module that is responsible for converting digital data recorded on an optical disc into an analogue audio signal that is fed to an external device (amplifier, speakers, etc.). Accordingly, the characteristics and overall quality of the DAC largely determine the sound quality in general. Knowing the DAC model, you can find detailed data on it — characteristics, reviews, test results, etc. — and evaluate how the capabilities of the converter meet your requirements.
