  • Question

  • What is a digital-to-analog converter?


  • Options
  • A. It takes the digital information from an audio CD and converts it to a usable form.
  • B. It allows the use of cheaper analog techniques, which are always simpler.
  • C. It stores digital data on a hard drive.
  • D. It converts direct current to alternating current.

  • Correct Answer
  • It takes the digital information from an audio CD and converts it to a usable form. 

    Explanation
    A DAC converts an abstract finite-precision number (usually a fixed-point binary number) into a concrete physical quantity (e.g., a voltage or a pressure).
