Great explanations. You are the rare trainer who understands that the "answer" is worthless without explaining the bigger picture first.

Very informative Jason. 🙂 Entering the world of IEM's and learning about DAC and this video set a lot of things straight.

This was incredibly informative and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Thank you so mucho for this video! I finally understand how a DAC works. You explained it so well.

Man! What a great explanation! Thanks for putting together these videos👍🏽

One of the best videos on this topic - incredibly well presented

Man, you rock! The DAC explained in the most clear way!

just getting into sound stuff and experienced high end speakers for the first time and these videos really help

That was an excellent explanation of a complex subject. We’ll done!

Really valuable clarification, Jason. Thanks!

I thought I had a good handle on DACs but after this excellent analysis by Kanto Solutions I fell more comfortable in my understanding. Thanks!

Great presentation. The more you know about audio..

Excellent explanation, right to the point... Just missing the explanation around amplifiers since they do affect the DAC quality in a small manner and seem that was involved around the question.

Hey nice vid! There are also digital clocks that show seconds ;) Cheers!

Wonderful explanation. Well done.

Amazing explanation. Thank you. If I was to watch this video a second time, i'd have the required knowledge to skip it :D

Genius video, thx!

such perfect video, thank you

Thank you for explaining this

Excellent explanation

DAC was an amazing video! ;-) Thanks!

Dude, thank you so much!

Hot damn this video was educational! I've watched several break downs by now but this one caused it to really click!

WOW! I had watched several videos on DACs and the whole thing was still kinda confusing, but this explanation was so clear it even made me feel smart

Hello! Ifyour sources are cd-sacd or turntables ,do not waste your money on a DAC! If you want to stream music by wire or wireless, you should get a good integrated amp with all these options!then you can use your smartphone or computer to stream everything!

Very good explanation!

i liked it for its simple non dramatic presentation.

Very informative. I'm brand new to the hifi hobby. Thank you for such a helpful video. So if I understand correctly, the "Line In 1/Line in 2" on my amp is for input of something like a CD player or cassette deck, and therefore it will be utilising a DAC within the Amp for those inputs.

Some people really need this information! I guess we all do.

This is amazing. Thank you 🙏. So if I stream audio over Bluetooth from my phone, then I am not using my phone’s DAC, since Bluetooth is digital. Therefore I can stream Bluetooth to an external DAC, which converts to analog and sends to my speakers

Excellent vid. Still have no clue what a DAC is or for

Awesome trainer for layman!

I was recommended to get a dac by the shop I bought my current IEMs from when I complained about hissing noise when using my iem on laptop. Got a simple dongle DAC and boy. It solved the hissing problem AND brought up my audio experience from limp noodle to God

nice to encounter someone else using the limp noodle to god scale

excellent primer!

You should be an instructor. Awesome explanation.

You may be sarcastic but most people don't understad these concepts or just don't bother. However you explaided it very well here.

Great explanation for people like me. I understood you perfectly, but someone that knows next to nothing about an oscilloscope, might have trouble understanding wave function.

Thanks for your great channel and reviews. If i have cd player with dac and i connect it to integrated amplifier within dac via rca, what dac will be utilized the cd player one or integrated amplifier one? Kind regard

You rock brother....

Great video

Just purchased a new Samsung Smart TV with no Headphone socket for my Cordless Headphones so I used a DAC to connect the Digital Optical out to my the Headphone reciever Analogue in and works a treat..

Very good information, so it seems that a pair of speakers with rca cables connected to your pc cannot have an external dac converter or i need a sound tarjet with a dac converter? because i have a pair of edifier 350db speakers with a woofer and has high frequency cone and a only one low-mid frequency cone each spearker... i have hear than a dac converter can make correct to the low-mid cone doesnt sound muddy and more clarified so then the woofer sounds more separated or tighter, or on the other hand the low-mid cone more discriminated to the woofer, sorry i am too specified so i want to make sense to a possible solution... thanks!

What about wireless transmission, when we connected through blutooth what type signals we are sending to the speaker's? Please explain about different codecs like aptx and aptx_hd or aac

Very nice video. Thanks! Could you please tell me if we can connect an amp/dac combo (like the ifi hip dac) to an amp and then to headphones? will the additional amplification of the amp DAC instead of just the DAC create an issue in sound quality?

@williamvezina1944

Thanks, it's exactly what I thought, however should I CHK. The DAC in my receiver with digital connect, to see what's better? The DAC in my CD player sounds really good, 1 more thing, is it worth my time to check an external DAC? Thanks

I feel enlightened

Hello, im currently using kanto yu4. Im considering buy a astell kern pee51 usb c dac , is it gonna be improve the sound quality ? If so, how big the differences ? Is it gonna change the sound characteristic of my kanto yu4, because i already like the sound but want to improve the sound quality. Im using my macbook pro 16” as the source, and use apple music lossless. Thankyou

Thank you.

Very good! If you have a Turntable (no builtin preamp) hooked to a Tube phono amp to a Tube preamp and then to a Tube amp to passive speakers you have pure analog sound, no DAC.

But that’s the DAC…

There are just so many. Thousands !!!!! It's not just the digital to analog signal. It's the line conditioning as well.

Great video. Question pls : What best audio result: Streamer with built in DAC 92/196 connected to a processor via analog cables OR that streamer connected Digital via Coax RCA cable to that processor and using the processor’s BETTER DAC but up to 24/96 ? Thank you

Thanks, subscribed 😊 I am new to this. So a preamp with Bluetooth also has a dac in it to convert the digital Bluetooth signal to rca. Correct?

Do you know if the converter can be used to convert optical cable from TV to RCA cables for a powered subwoofer? I just replaced my sound bar and my old one had “sub out” so was thinking of using hdmi arc from soundbar to hdmi arc on tv then optical from tv to input of converter then use RCA output from converter using RCA cables to connect my powered subwoofer.

I understand DACs and STILL enjoyed your explanations. My question is, should I upgrade my $75 integrated DAC and headphone amp to much more expensive dedicated DACs and headphone amp and what is so special about the higher end devices that they cost 10 to 20 times more or even more than that!

That was brilliant, even a dunce😂 like me understood that clearly thank you, I will subscribe I’m daz from australia😊

Thanks for the explanation. I am connecting my new TV using Optical Out to my old Home theatre using RCA in using a DAC. It only plays on two speakers and not on all the 5 speakers. Does it mean, it only sends 2 channel signals? Is there any way to hear on all the speakers (it doesn't have to be surround sound).

Fantastic video! That's Brah
