DAC Recommendations Please

I believe the PS Audio Digital Link III is no longer being manufactured, and has now been replaced with a new product.
Best to check the PS Audio site for complete and updated information. The DACMagic -- which is frequently sold-out and/or back-ordered -- is excellent by any standard. I own one and for the money it can not be beat and -- for that matter -- will probably outperform many higher priced units. It does have certain specific advantages: (a) both RCA and true balanced outputs for connection to your pre-amp or amplifier; (b) two separate digital inputs with both having coax and toslink capabilities. Rather unusually these days, it comes with a useful and professional appearing owners manual; and the overall packaging -- as is the case with most Cambridge products -- is first-rate.

I use a CA DACMagic. Its fantastic and for the price you will not find a better unit. It has two digital inputs versus most only supplying one; it also has a digital output. Another plus are three selectable digital filters. USB input works well but all I did was hook up a PC, listen a bit and then went back to using the two digital inputs - one for an older CD player (it elevated the sound of that unit considerably) and one for a Squeezebox Duet and the Duet sounds as good as ever. www.audiokrama.org has quite a few posts and a thread on DACMagic use and ownership.

Sorry to hijack this thread...but has anyone had any experience w/ the Musical Fidelity V-DAC? ...especially compared to the Cambridge Audio DACMagic? These seem to be two of the obvious choices for those of us who can't/won't drop big money on a DAC and who want a USB input to use with a computer.

Thanks!

I use the DacMagic,and I think it's a great way to get started with a music server. Like anything else, eventually I will probably upgrade. But for now, I'm enjoying it. The balanced outputs are worth the price.
