I am wondering about DACs in soundcards because I am getting a new computer soon. Are the soundcard DACs as good as a DAC in a dedicated amp? How does SQ compare?
Second thing is... I know that a DAC concerts from digital to analog... but what confuses me is... whenever you play an MP3 is it not required to be turned analog in order to come out of speakers? can you play "digital" music? isn't that just how its stored... digitally... and than when played goes to analog? how does this work? thanks
