The Mac M1 has a 3.5 Aux out. So, it has a DAC. Does anyone know what it is?
It does not sound as robust as any decent external you would use but, I am just curious if anyone knows, for sure.
Although, I have only run a super long 12 foot? cable from it to the amp. Maybe my DAC has better power to 3.5 versus the M1. If so, the M1 DAC is incredible!

M1 iMac uses CS42L83A. This is the same chip in nearly every MacBook and iPad for the past 5 years.
