Will an external DAC bring back bass response and dynamics?

electricity replied to Angular Mo's topic in Headphones & Speakers
The terms are freely interchangeable among some hobbyists. The companies that manufacture loudspeakers are usually very precise in their descriptions. Recontextualizing the terms "active" and "powered" makes no sense, since the existence of an active crossover is important. -
