Digital to analogue converter (DAC)
Converts the digital data signal into analogue signal that can be amplified and reproduced using speakers or headphones so that our ears can hear it.
In the case of video the data is converted into a video signal that can be reproduced by a display device so that we can see it.
Once data is converted to an analogue signal it then can degrade and lose its quality every step of the way. Most modern equipment is designed to keep data in the digital (Lossless) domain as long as possible.
In an ideal world data would be kept digital right up until the point that you see or hear it avoiding degradation.

Toroidal Transformers
Usually found in higher-end equipment, these transformers are designed around a ring-shaped core, improving efficiency by reducing
magnetic resistance. Effectively, a toroidal transformer helps to reduce the
transference of unwanted noise to the audio circuitry
by retaining the interference in the transformer core. Coils are wound around the surface of the core which minimises the length of
wire needed whilst at the same time screening the core’s magnetic field to reduce electromagnetic interference. These transformers can
also be more efficient than their cheaper counterparts. They produce less mechanical hum and a lower exterior magnetic field,
and have low off-load losses so they are efficient even in standby.
