Kittu, the DAC gives an output signal of a few volts, about 2V or so, just like your cd player or dvd player does through the analog outputs. Afaik, this doesnt have the amount of current required to drive a heavy load i.e your speakers. For that, the DAC/ cdp/dvdp/source is connected to an amp, which can amplify or bring in the necessary gain in Current to drive your speakers.
Just consider the DAC as part of the source stage of your audio chain.
