DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter)
makerA device that converts digital signals into analog signals.
expanded
A Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is an electronic device used to translate digital data, typically binary code, into an analog signal, such as current or voltage, compatible with devices like audio speakers. This conversion is pivotal in applications where human perception relies on analog inputs, for instance, in high-fidelity audio systems to reproduce sound from digital recordings. DACs are crucial in interfacing digital computing systems with the analog world in a precise and reliable manner.
