How to retrieve Dalton value from m/z value?

As I understand, Dalton (Da) is the standard way for representing mass unit. As for m/z, which is a specific notation for mass spectrometry, quoting for wikipedia:

This notation eases data interpretation since it is numerically more related to the unified atomic mass unit

Considering this, could I say that the m in m/z is a Da unity? If so, given an m/z value, can I retrieve the original mass of the atomic mass by multiplying it by the ions charge, if I have that information?

I ask this because I have a spectrum analysis file with m/z in the x axis and I'm asked to compare masses in Da
