How do you troubleshoot a DAC?

Can DAC work without amp?
It is not possible to use a DAC without an amplifier. The purpose of a DAC is solely to convert digital signals into analog waveforms. When the conversion has been made, the audio signal is too weak to be received by the sound source. Therefore, an amplifier is needed to boost the signal to an optimal level.
