No, I mean a DAC that essentially treats the computer like a hard drive or network server. It buffers the data locally (e.g. 10 seconds of audio data), asking for chunks (e.g. 2 seconds of audio data) when the buffer is getting low (e.g. only 8 seconds remaining in the buffer). It plays back from the buffer based on a speed controlled entirely by a local clock. This is how digital audio data transfer protocols probably would have been designed in the first place if computers (not CD players that can only read the data at a relatively low speed with a high error rate) had been the most common type of source at the time.
