It's nice to see a simple video really break things down for new folks. You would be surprised how many out there don't know what a dac is. Let alone hook one up. Videos like these do nothing but help down our nitch audiofool hobby. Thank you Josh!

[Armbrust]

Lets be real: everybody who's watching on the first day, does not watch this for advise, but just to immerse in their hobby

[awzup]

while not new to dacs and amps, its always interesting seeing it explained, and also nice to have a good reference to send other people interested in starting.

I gotta learn how to take cinematic shots like that. You’re a man of many talents, Josh

This is for newbies, in case they get confused:
7:02 _Input_ is uttered, _output_ is meant.
7:56 _Output_ is uttered, _input_ is meant.

One of the best explanation of what a DAC is and what it's used for

[pvtghost]

As a car enthusiast, an audio enthusiast, a video enthusiast, an overall electronics enthusiast and a coffee enthusiast who roasts his own beans, I really appreciated the intro to this video.

[Palartzski]

Something that was overlooked during the video is that a DAC isn’t absolutely necessary for your headphone setup. All digital devices (phones, laptops, etc) have DACS built into them. They’re just not as high quality as an external DAC.

I think another thing that would help new users is: do you even need a DAC? Why do audiophiles invest in DACS?

[MrBradso]

Thank you, Josh. I decided to jump into the audio world a little deeper after watching some of your videos. I found myself getting lost with all the equipment - there’s so many reviews and so few how tos. I appreciate this video, it’s explains a lot in really simple terms.

Thanks again. I’m looking forward to the next one already.

Very clear presentation by Joshua. I appreciate this video immensely.

[Huckleberry]

This is literally the video I wanted to suggest in the comments for ages but somehow never did, just what I needed.

[PCcardboard]

AMAZING!!!! to many people think eveyone knows what an RCA is. this is great.

[mdfrick]

DID YOU NOT PREWET THAT FILTER PAPER?! I don't know if I can trust you any longer. 😆

[rogerwaters]

This was extremely helpful. I find videos telling what to get and why but I always had trouble finding a video showing how to use them. This is the most I learned in a video in a long time.

[BobFudgee]

The random flex of the coffee is great! Amazing analogy!

[BrotherMedHatBear]

After watching so many videos to try to understand this concept yours is the first that is finally comprehendible!! Thank you greatly for your efforts. I plan to immerse myself in your channel !!

[tekkenespie]

This was exactly the video I needed. I had to be a little patient, but it all came together, I highly misunderstood how you properly utilize dacs and amps.

[cliffbolin]

Just getting started. Videos like this are so helpful. Thanks for breaking it all down.

[JisMortal]

since its for beginners, do you plan on making videos for every step in an audio setup? like passive speakers, amps, tubes, etc?

[jwest]

Very useful video. I don't really need it now, but I remember being unsure when I first got my dac and amp how to connect everything while also getting my pc speakers connected to that system. I'm sure this will be helpful to many.
