==== Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) ====

* Takes the digital signal from your computer, the 1s and 0s, and turns it into an electrical audio signal.
* This could be in your computer motherboard, a soundcard, in a box by itself, in your receiver, or your television.
* Most modern ones are fine - don’t fall for a $10000 DAC or similar bs
* Having this OUTSIDE of your computer usually means less chances for computer-y noise in your audio like hiss/high frequency noises when doing something with your computer.
