The editors liked

  • The DacMagic's sound quality is a significant step up from most big box store CD/DVD players and computer sound cards
  • This unit can handle a variety of sources with its multiple inputs with USB
  • Toslink and SPDIF capabilities
  • The DacMagic's topology provides a true balanced audio signal
  • Crystal-clear sound
  • Improves any digital audio from your Mac or from an AirPort Express or Apple TV
  • Easy to use
  • Connects via USB or Toslink
  • Compact.

The editors didn't like

  • The USB connection has inherent limitations
  • In that its word length and sampling rate are limited by the USB 1.0 stock chipsets. It is also prone to excessive jitter
  • It would be nice to have a remote to change between inputs and filters. I understand the limitations at the price
  • But perhaps an optional backlit remote would make sense for the future.
  • Pricey
  • Needs high-quality amplified speakers if used for computer listening.

  • Cambridge Audio has introduced an affordable high-end-quality DAC for use with computers and home entertainment devices alike. The DacMagic seems to revel in bringing out the best in digital stereo sound, whether MP3 or lossless music on a computer, o...

  • Abstract:  Wie der Musical Fidelity kommt der Cambridge Audio DAC Magic für 400 Euro aus England. Er bietet aber deutlich mehr Ausstattung. Waagerecht oder hochkant (Gummifuß liegt bei) schielt der DAC Magic mit einem USB-Eingang auf den Computer; an zwei jeweil...

  • De DacMagic is echt een wonderdoosje. Cambridge Audio maakt het overduidelijk dat pc’s en audio prima samengaan. En dat doet ons goed. Immers: op een hardeschijf kunt u ontelbaar veel uren muziek en film kwijt en de meeste software is enorm handig in g...

  • Den lille Cambridge-konverteren er en av de billigste og mest tydelige forbedringene mange kan gjøre i et anlegg. Den forbedrer lydkvaliteten til de fleste digitalkilder utenom high-end-digitalkilder, og er fleksibel nok til at man kan bruke den med...

  • Alle der elsker god musik burde have en dedikeret DAC i deres setup. Den påstand lever i hvert fald efter vores test i dag. Cambridge har leveret en DAC i en prisklasse, hvor alle kan være med, og samtidig løfter musikken fra f.eks. computeren til et h...
