Does this device also include DAC (digital-to-analog), versus "just" ADC?

I think it must. I use to send audio from and to my computer via the USB port on the CPU. The RCA jacks go to may external audio device (an old tape deck) so the audio is standard "line" levels with about 100K impedance. If audio goes both directions is must do DAC an ADC. Jim.

NO this does no conversion of analog devices to digital. this is now common across most sub $500 a/v receiver/amp combos now.

The DacMagic has digital inputs but no digital outputs. You run stereo analog cables from its output into either a dedicated headphone amp or a set of corresponding inputs on your receiver.

Yes. By definition, the output of a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) is an analog signal. The output of USB is a digital signal, so it has not been through the DAC.

They make digital to analog converters but I haven't seen one that converts analog to digital yet.

No. You would need to use a 3.5mm to dual RCA, or something similar. This is an amp, not a DAC btw.

I don't really use the DAC part of mine. I use it to connect a better quality DAC that has no USB capability to a computer. It does this very well, and the $1000 plus DAC I'm using sounds light years better than the computer's internal DAC, of course. Given the low price, low weight, and small package of the Muse, I don't see how it could be a high quality DAC. It's the analog end of a DAC that determines its quality and sound, and analog quality is heavy, expensive, and bulky....power supplies, sizable capacitors, etc.

No it as an analog receiver. The more expensive recent models have digital inputs.

If you're asking if it can connect your Computer, iPod, or android device to your receiver then yes after connecting them to a computer, but I don't think you would need a DAC for that. You could just use a RCA to 3.5mm jack and connect it that way.

Just the headphones. You use the output directly into your sound system and adjust volume from there. I use the optical inputs from apple tv. It is an excellent, no-nonsense dac. Highly recommended.

I would go with DAC unless you're interested in more clear lossless formats like FLAC.

No, I don't think so. The manual says that digital input goes through digital output, and analog input goes through analog output.

The only out on this DAC is analog, that's why you'd use it: digital-to-analog conversion. Connect your digital sources to it to have a better conversion to analog than most receivers and embedded analog outs on most players. But it only converts PCM stereo, so if you want dolby or DTS 5.1, 7.1, and beyond, this is not your route.

No, the analog output is only for output A.You can find this at monoprice site below:http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp;_id=10110&cs;_id=1011002&p;_id=7112&seq;=1&format;=2

Sorry to say no. This device has only analog inputs. It will not interprete the digital signal.

You may understand, I will point out there is no amplifier in the DAC. It's only a processor. That said, it makes an amazing difference in sound quality, such that I want to run all my music through it. I have been told that HDMI sound channels are superior. My ears prefer the sound from this device.

This DAC works through both the usb and 3.5 aux into audio connectors. Digital to analog converter e.i. computer to speaker
