Digital-to-Analog Converters | DACs

A dedicated DAC (digital-to-analog converter) extracts more detail, dynamics, and musicality from your digital sources than the built-in converters in most streamers, computers, and phones. Whether you are streaming from Tidal or Qobuz, playing files from a server, or connecting a CD transport, the DAC determines how faithfully that digital data becomes analog music. Our collection includes DACs from Matrix Audio, Cambridge Audio, Primare, and other brands known for serious digital-to-analog performance across a range of budgets.

Choosing a DAC means considering your source connections (USB, optical, coax, network), the formats you listen to, and how it fits into your existing system. Some DACs include volume control and can serve as a preamp, simplifying your signal chain. Others focus purely on conversion quality. We help customers navigate chip architectures, filter options, and connectivity so you get the right DAC for your setup. At The Listening Room, we pair digital sources with analog gear every day.
