Devised by software specialist Anagram Technologies of Switzerland and licensed – exclusively, to date – to Cambridge, this uses high-power digital signal processing technology to perform the digital filtering function.

Cubierta totalmente metálica y con amortiguación acústica, dotada de un grueso panel frontal de aluminio metalizado Tonality is exceptionally neutral, with clean extension at both extremes and very well-balanced midrange.

Como todos nuestros productos, el desarrollo del dispositivo fue realizado de forma personalizada por nuestro fantástico equipo de profesionales de nuestra sede en el centro de Londres. Nuestros ingenieros pusieron todo su esfuerzo y atención al detalle para garantizar que la característica principal del producto es su calidad del sonido. Esta es la razón por la que DacMagic 100 incorpora el convertidor de digital a analógico más reciente de Wolfson, la empresa líder en el sector. Caractersiticas Tecnicas Missing: No remote control. No analog inputs. No AES digital inputs or outputs. Not USB powered (always needs wall power). Balanced output 10 dB below standard +4 levels. Normal people can stop reading here, but I'm going to crank up the scale on the analyzer and see what I can see with these different filters: Power on the unit and select the input source that you wish to listen to using the source button located on the front panel.

The Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus is an inexpensive, lightweight, Chinese-made DAC with astounding performance.

kHz level error versus digital modulation level, -120 ~ 0 dBFS, undithered 24-bit 44.1 ksps input. ( R&S UPL.) Meanwhile, steep is superlatively detailed in simple music – single voice/instrument, or just a few – but slightly loses out to linear in very dense textures. Using the appropriate plug for your region, connect the supplied power adaptor to the DacMagic 100. Goodness, this is excellent: almost no jitter (spreading of the main spike) and no spurs above -126 dBFS.

Digital Inputs: USB, (2) TOSLINK or coaxial RCA digital inputs. Also a flat USB connector for a dedicated, optional BT100 bluetooth receiver. The Cambridge’s three digital filters – Fast, Slow and Short Delay – offer fairly subtle differences, albeit some level of sonic customisation. We find ourselves settling for Short Delay – it seems the more punctual of the three in relation to timing – but it’s worth experimenting with them. Whatever the theory says, it's good to be able to choose. The same is true of absolute phase, which can be inverted digitally by the DacMagic. All this wizardry is achieved by a Texas Instruments digital signal processing chip, aided and abetted by DAC chips from Wolfson and some decent op-amps and passive components. It only has digital inputs so it's not really a preamp, but it does have four selectable inputs, a volume control and even a headphone output, so for many of us, it can be our master control center. Its headphone amplifier performance is typical, limited by its 50 Ω output source impedance, but at least it's 12 dB louder (4 V RMS max.) with high-impedance headphones than most iPods and portable equipment.This Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus is typical precise and lightweight Chinese: sheet metal case and aluminum front.
