DACs

All digital music sources need an internal or external DAC (digital-to-analogue converter) to turn the digital music stream (zero's and ones) into an analogue voltage that can then be passed to a conventional hi-fi amplifier and loudspeaker system.

Now that music lovers are now increasingly streaming music into their homes via the internet from resources such as Spotify, internet radio, Deezer, iTunes and YouTube, a high quality standalone DAC can improve audio quality over the standard DAC's featured in computers and other network equipment.

The features you might want to consider are what bit-rate you wish to stream at (the higher the better), and also the sampling rate applied (again, the higher the better). Not all DAC's can accept FLAC files, so this might also be an important consideration when choosing your ideal DAC.
