What exactly does a DAC do?


I have a NAD cd/dvd player that I really kinda like, but I would like better audio for stereo listening, but I have I some very fundamental questions for any patient souls out there.

1. What does a DAC do?

2. What is a transport? Is there such thing as a pure transport?

3. Would a DAC be beneficial in my rig?

4. Would a standard DAC work w/SACD, if I upgraded later.

Any input is appreciated. Google is not smiling upon me.

Are there any *affordable* (under 1k) DAC's you'd suggest, Audioengr?

Those Muses look really good, btw, Swampwalker.

Thanks for the heads up everybody.
