Revolutionize Digital Audio

Lots of digital devices, like Blu-Ray players, TVs and PCs, have DACs built in, but often they leave much to be desired when it comes to sound quality. DacMagic 100 bypasses these inferior processors and decodes the digital audio itself to deliver a vastly improved sound.

High-Performance DAC

A Wolfson WM8742 DAC is at the heart of the DacMagic 100. This is where the magic happens, accepting playback of up to 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution digital audio files.

Connect Up to Four Devices Simultaneously

DacMagic 100 features 2x coaxial inputs, 1x optical input and 1x USB Audio input. Controls on the front panel let you switch between sources, so once you’ve connected up to four devices, you won’t have to worry about cables again.

5 Stars
Like this DAC a lot.
I bought this to add digital inputs to my Yamaha A500 integrated amp, I purchased this in the UK at the Cambridge Audio (CA) distributor there, Richer Sounds while I was visiting. It turned out to be about half the price if I purchased in the USA. I came with a multi-voltage adapter.The DAC is very good in sound production, perhaps a little more mid range heavy than top end that I usually like but very listenable and non fatiguing. I did a direct comparison with CD's, I used my Marantz CD67SE which I found was more detailed in the very high range but I'd say the lower midrange was better with the DAC. I still like the Marantz for CD playback.The DAC is very convenient as it allow multiple connections to my Amp which is really great for me. I use it with my laptop mostly and have tried some high resolution files 192/24 which sounded really well rounded. I also have a bluetooth receiver plugged into it's single toslink port which also sounds very nice with music I stream from my phone like Pandora or Amazon music (for convenience rather than critical listening). It is really nice to have the 3 additional digital inputs (2 coax and one toslink) and a UBS high resolution input.I did have to update my laptop drivers to used the CA driver off their website - this is for use of USB 2 audio and I also update the firmware which was pretty straightforward from emailing CA technical support for the .bin file. I was actually pretty happy with CA support. The firmware that is most update is v3.260 and the driver is v3.26 (it came with firmware v3.20) -I am using Windows 10 and Foobar2000. You have to update it if you are having issues with the ASIO high resolution playback which I found out.For the price I paid I would totally recommend this DAC, for $299 is it still very comparative to other similar DACs. I like it a lot.
