A DAC signifies Digital to Analog conversion. Turning 1's and 0's into an electrical signal that headphones(dynamic) can translate into vibrations which our ears translate into sound.
Meaning any digital output is digital, and going into a DAC will be converted to analog. On the PS3 that means rather than using the internal DAC it's going out straight digital, otherwise it would go digital--->Analog--->digital which wouldn't make too much sense.

Quick question, If you plug in the D1 to the PS3 via TOSLINK,
Does it still use the DAC or does it still use the PS3 DAC and just goes through the D1's amp stage?
