The most direct path from digital to analog possible is achieved with Direct to DAC technology.  

The first moment inside the DAC where analog appears is routed out and passed through a single
capacitor to the output jacks of The Memory Player, bypassing dozens, if not hundreds of
components used in more exotic, older DAC technologies.

Possessing very high voltage and very low impedance, this DAC can drive any power amplifier
directly with total volume and balance control.
