Default Conversion Primer Anyone??

Alright... I'm looking to get a better understanding of what converters do to the signal chain and why it would be useful to upgrade them. I am aware that if you record all of your tracks through nice converters, the end result will be cleaner, but I don't understand why and I have the slightest idea what they do or how they work. Are there any tutorials out there with a good explanation?

Hope this helps,

I typed "what are digital audio converters" into google and this was one of the options it returned.

All the best,

Try Nika Aldrich's book at Sweetwater. That's about the best summation in layman's terms you'll find.
