Music enthusiasts are always looking for ways to improve the sound quality of their audio systems. In some cases, using a DAC can be a very effective solution.
What is a DAC?
A DAC (Digital Analog Converter) is a device whose role is to “translate” the digital audio signal it receives into an analog audio signal, which your amplifiers can transcribe.
The digital source can be a signal from streaming platforms , a CD disc or a Bluetooth stream.
Why use a DAC?
Although most digital sources already have a built-in converter, it may not give you complete satisfaction.
In this case, the external DAC will take over from the converter and will allow to raise the sound quality by performing a more precise conversion of the digital signal to an analog signal.
The improvement in audio quality felt is directly measurable when listening. This translates in particular into a significant improvement in timbres and dynamics, thus offering a richer and more detailed sound scene.
Not all DACs are the same, depending on the components chosen and the circuitry implemented, their qualities and sound signatures can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. The choice of your DAC is therefore made according to your installation and your personal tastes.
What is Bit Perfect?
For audiophiles looking for a listening experience that is as faithful as possible to the original source, we will favor a DAC that we classify as bit-perfect such as the DAC used in the Octavio Stream . 
The idea of bit-perfect is to be able to directly read the encapsulated source file (FLAC or other) without any manipulation or signal processing.
This ensures accurate reproduction of the musical content, remaining faithful to the original recording.
In a few words
In summary, using a high-performance DAC can significantly improve the sound quality of your audio system. You should choose this DAC according to your ear. If you want to combine a quality DAC and an audio streamer, Octavio products are for you.
