Cambridge Audio DacMagic Digital-to-Analog Converter with USB, Black

USB input connects direct to PC without drivers to act as very high quality DAC/soundcard providing genuine hi-fi quality playback from desktop.
Two inputs with both SPDIF & Toslink sockets allow wide range of digital sources to be connected
Singled ended phono and XLR balanced audio outputs. Digital output passes through selected source for recording purposes
Adaptive Time Filtering (ATFTM) asynchronous upsampling technology converts 16-24 bit audio
Twin WM8740 high quality DACs in dual differential mode for excellent stereo imaging.

Enjoy digital music like never before…
Adapted Time Filtering (ATF) asynchronous upsampling technology might sound complicated but the benefits are instantly audible. Essentially it converts 16-24 bit audio to 24 bit/192kHz so you hear so much more from compressed material. Meanwhile a 32 bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP) eradicates jitter which is especially effective with hard disk playback from PCs or Macintosh computers. Whether your digital music collection is stored on a PC or you use a network music client – SqueezeboxTM, SoundBridgeTM, SonosTM etc – the difference in audible quality is incredible!

Games just explode into life
Gaming isn’t just about the moving image. By connecting your games console – PlayStations(PS2 and PS3TM), XboxTM and Xbox 360sTM to your hi-fi via DacMagic, dramatically improved soundtracks and special effects are immediately apparent. DacMagic is an audiophile tour de force!
DacMagic sports a range of components you’d never dream could be crammed into such a compact case. These include a 32-bit Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processor (DSP), dual Differential Virtual Earth balanced filter topology and twin Wolfson WM8740 high quality DACs in dual differential mode for excellent stereo imaging. Other features include a choice of digital filters – linear phase/minimum phase/steep filter – and an incoming sampling rate indicator which shows the original source quality. You can experiment with different filters for each source connected but DacMagic always remembers the last one assigned to that source. It’s flexible and easy to set-up
Up to two digital sources – network music devices, games consoles, CD/DVD players etc. can be connected concurrently using S/PDIF or Toslink inputs. Additionally, you can connect DacMagic directly to your PC using a USB connection (no drivers needed) and dramatically improve the quality of your digital music.
