Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)

Digital music comes from various sources, such as streaming from the internet, your storage device, a CD, or even your Cable TV. However, they must all be connected to a DAC (Digital/Analog Converter) to play through your stereo system. These devices come in different sizes and shapes, and each has a specification page often filled with technical jargon. While these specifications are interesting, they only tell part of the story, especially regarding sound quality. Despite being called a Digital/Analog Converter, a DAC is primarily an analog device. It converts digital data into analog signals that are sent to the preamplifier. The quality of the conversion and how well the analog signal is created and transmitted differentiate DAC makers, but this information is not always reflected in the spec sheet. In short, if a builder cuts corners while making a DAC, then the specifications are meaningless. The sound quality will suffer, and it will be evident that the manufacturer has designed a DAC to specifications rather than for the quality of the sound it outputs. Therefore, investing in a DAC with proper power supplies and analog conversion can produce excellent results. Essentially, there is nothing "binary" about DACs. They all sound different and cater to specific markets.

About

T+A

T+A Elektroakustik is a family-owned company that its original proprietors manage. If we ask ourselves why T+A equipment is so unique, the answer is that they have the freedom to implement their convictions and focus on long-term goals rather than just the next quarter. This independence enables them to achieve core objectives at an achievable pace with outside investors. For instance, it took three years to develop the first product in their HV series, which became a huge success. Our company founder is passionate about music and technology, believes in science and the laws of physics, and always aims to push those limits as far as possible. These values are infused into every T+A device and will continue to guide them for future generations.
