No DAC is the future?

Audio Gear Talk

I saw a thread about this somewhere and couldnt understand it. I am thinking of investing heavily in a high-end DAC. But what is this talk that soon we won’t need DACs? Can anyone explain?

Thanks

Can you post a link to where you read this.

Music is Analog, bang a drum to prove that, but the delivery (Unless your using Tape or Vinyl) is Digital.
The DAC is a Digital to Analog converter.

That’s the circle that must be squared and so we have a DAC.
Now which one will be entirely dependant on your system and what you intend to decode with it.
Good luck in your purchase…
