Paul, it's very simple.  Two of the six DAC's are used to convert the left
and right channels from digital to analog in the ordinary way.  Then, special
anharmonic filters are employed to tighten bass, smooth out edginess and
reveal inner detail.  The second pair of DAC's is now used in reverse to
convert these processed signals back into digital format, where a multichannel,
interlaced, shift-register filter, with arithmetic co-processors, extends the
frequency response from below dc to above 200kHz (golden ears have been known
to tarnish with anything less).  Finally, DAC's four and five convert the
enhanced signals to analog format, into auto-filtering, multi-stranded
giga-cable, and out to the rhapsodic inputs of your digital-ready preamplifier.
