A digital-to-analog converting method operating under two clock signals of different periods is disclosed. The method includes steps of monitoring a phase relationship between the two clock signals; starting transmission of a plurality of pre-stored series of waveform samples in response to each rising edge of the first clock signal, wherein a phase difference is present between every two adjacent series of waveform samples; outputting the waveform samples of each series in response to rising edges of the second clock signal; and selecting one of the plurality of pre-stored sets of waveform samples to be converted into an analog signal according to the phase relationship. The various pre-stored series of waveform samples having therebetween phase differences are optionally used for phase compensation so as to reduce the clock jitter between the two clock signals. A digital-to-analog converter for implementing the above-mentioned method is also disclosed.
