Yes. But this seems to go against the idea the analogue waveform is re-created as a continuous curve which intersects the data points. Instead, it seems the values are just output as a voltage during each sample interval. If the above is true, you would get quantization error. And again I assume, this would normally be converted from distortion into noise by dithering, making it inaudible. What I want to know is, where does this sinc function thingy come into it, if the DAC is just outputting the level determined by the samples? Note I am not stating anything with certainty - really I am asking how does this work?!
