Dac's? anyone tried the new Cambridge Dacmagic-B

I'm using it with Squeezebox and it's a huge improvement over squeezebox DAC and sounds nearly as good as my Rega Apollo. Very neutral which may make it sound bit detached which is a good contrast to my Apollo which tends to be bit too warm at times. Wonder how this stacks against more expensive DACs ~ $1000?

I've decided on the dacMagic. My wife has ordered one for my birthday, so now it's waiting time...

It's a very nice piece for the price for sure. The Cambridge 840c player sounds a touch better, but you can't beat the value. Build quality is fine in my opinion and even better than you'd expect for $399. Music Hall has one comming out too though that should be pretty sweet at $595. It will have a tube output stage, and a built in headphone amp. You can't beat the value there! It's definately time though that somebody made a good DAC for under a grand!

I recently ordered one and was told it's on backorder.

A package from Audio Adviser arrived yesterday. Birthday in T minus 6 days....
