? How do digital-to-analog converters work? We all know they convert your digital to analog. But how? Want to know about Ladder and R-2R DACs, Ring DACs, FPGA, chipsets like ESS, AKM, Cirrus Logic, Burr Brown, and more. What did I even just say? Check out our video to find out. ?✨
My dad told me to be responsible and get a job that would allow me to finance my passion for music. Well, I did. That's why I spend all day in a proverbial candy store for music lovers. It's a dream job really.
Ricky Kovacs is a performer at heart but loves to bring his passion and experience with music to others. With a background in both politics and religion, Ricky has a knack for writing about divisive topics - which is why at the end of the day he loves writing about the one thing that brings us all together: music. Outside of Moon Audio, Ricky enjoys performing music in his band, recording, video games, virtual photography, reading, traveling, partaking in the finest scotch, and spending time with his wife, newborn, and doggy.
