Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus review

 

Versatile and feature-packed DAC/headphone amp majors on detail

Versatile ; impressive feature count ; aptX Bluetooth ; sound is detailed, subtle and fast

Lacks dynamic power ; hint of brightness to treble frequencies

Better sound and better features than the original but you can get better sound

Sounds great but ...

 

Purchased primarily to use with headphones and I am very happy with the sound which is more balanced and less harsh than I was getting from the headphone amp on my CD player (Marantz CD6006). The build quality feels high with the exception of the...

Has transformed my PC's sound

Better than I thought possible.

 

Combined with my new CXC Transport, this DAC is absolutely amazing. I mainly listen to classical music and over the last week I've been revisiting some of my all time favourite recordings. I am discovering details that I have never heard before. The...
