How do the adaptive dampers of the Audi A6 improve handling?

I've heard that the Audi A6 comes equipped with adaptive dampers. How do they work and how do they contribute to the car's handling ability?

Adaptive dampers adjust the response of the suspension to various road conditions, providing a smoother and more stable ride.

With the ability to adjust damping force up to 1,000 times per second, the Audi A6's adaptive dampers can react quickly to changing road surfaces or driving styles.
