Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100
A compact DAC built for pure, reliable digital audio. The DacMagic 100 uses a Wolfson WM8742 24-bit converter and asynchronous USB to deliver low-jitter, high-clarity playback from computers, TVs, game consoles, and digital transports. With support for sample rates up to 24-bit/192 kHz, an incoming sample rate indicator, and a ground lift switch to eliminate hum, it is designed for simple, problem-free integration into any stereo system. The full-metal chassis adds rigidity and durability while three digital inputs and USB Type B support cover most modern sources. If you want a clean upgrade to the sound of your digital devices without adding size or complexity, the DacMagic 100 is an easy fit.
