Neophyte question about DAC's...


Hello,

Does the use of a DAC would improve the sound quality of internet radio listening?

Thank you for your input.

HD radio sounds much worse than internet stations at 128.

Most of it available here at least is not that great, you can clearly hear the artifacts. Any decent analog tuner sounds much better to me.

HD does not stand for high definition, leave it to the marketing people.

From the crutchfield site first thing that popped up in google:

"Originally, the initials stood for "hybrid-digital," because the digital signals were carried with the analog wave.

According to iBiquity Digital Corporation, that's been changed, and the letters "HD" now don't stand for anything.

Some articles and news stories have erroneously assumed that "HD" stands for "high definition," which has contributed to the confusion between HD Radio technology and high-definition TV."
Does anyone know what language is being spoken here?

It's the very popular "I have no idea what I'm talking about but I'll say it anyway" language!!! I'm fluent in it(as are most people on this site)!!!
hifi language. only deciperable by obsessive compulsive navel starers like myself. ha. i use music streamer and music fidelity vdac. wouldn,t consider using headphones out on mac when i can spend 100s on usb cables and expensive ics and more hundreds on dac to listen to background music at 128kbs. just the way an audiophile rolls ha.
