thats great, welcome to MMU laugh.gif

DAC stands for Digital-Analog Converter. it converts the digital signal from your music source to analog so your speakers/headphones can play it.
your computer either uses an on board DAC or a sound card. the quality of the conversion depends on the hardware and configuration of it.

the difference between this DAC and the normal 3.5mm port on your pc is this one uses better hardware.
so it could convert the signal with minimal distortion or loss in the signal.

thats how i understand it, maybe chchyong89 could explain it better if im wrong.

so its just like a usb soundcard? why no casing? i taut its an amp laugh.gif
