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, this may not give you complete satisfaction.
In this case, the external DAC will take over from the converter and will increase the sound quality by performing a more precise conversion from the digital signal to an analog signal.
The improvement in audio quality felt is directly measurable when listening. This results in particular in a strong improvement in timbres and dynamics, thus offering a richer and more detailed soundstage.
Not all DACs are the same, depending on the components chosen and the circuit created, their sound qualities and signatures can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. The choice of your DAC therefore depends on 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 exact reproduction of musical content, remaining faithful to the original recording.
In a few words
In summary, using a capable DAC can significantly improve the sound quality of your audio system. It will be appropriate to choose this DAC according to your ear.
