does MacBook Pro need a DAC?


Not an engineer with a basic question. Just got a new MacBook Pro. It has AudioMIDI setup with format up to 96k hz.
I am using it by plugging in a cable into a headphone jack with the other end going into the receiver. A friend suggested I get a DAC. but I don't see what purpose would an additional DAC serve. Isn't my MacBook Pro already converting digital to analog signal? and is it doing it efficiently? enough for high quality reproduction? thanks in advance to all who respond

Well in that vein maybe he should get an isolation platform and black diamond racing cone feet as well as an aftermarket power cord with Bybee purifiers for his MacBook.  Come on the OP just asked a simple question about a DAC
