digital to analog converter

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is a device that transforms digital signals, which are composed of binary data (ones and zeros), into continuous analog signals that can be understood by analog devices like speakers or radios. It interprets digital information—such as audio files or video signals—and converts it into smooth electrical waveforms. This process allows digital devices to communicate with and control analog equipment, enabling the playback of sound or the display of visuals in real-world formats. Essentially, a DAC bridges the gap between digital data and physical, analog outputs.
