Cambridge Audio conjures up DacMagic 200M
The dual mono configuration means each DAC processes the left and right channels separately, which, the company says, results: “in a performance that is astonishingly free of distortion, incredibly precise and has superb dynamic range”.
Three pre-set filters help reduce noise generated by the digital-to-analogue conversion process, with each offering a different sonic option depending on the source material.
The DacMagic 200M additionally features a high-quality headphone amplifier with 6.3mm output and uses traditional class A/B amplification. Digital inputs include two coaxial, two optical and one USB type-B, while Bluetooth aptX support is on hand for connection to a smartphone or tablet. The DacMagic 200M has both balanced and unbalanced analogue connections, enabling it to connect to all types of existing audio systems.
Housed in a steel and aluminium chassis measuring 215 x 52 x 191mm (WxHxD) and weighing in at 1.2kg, it comes in a sleek, minimal Lunar Grey finish. Costing £450 and available to buy now, you can find out more about the DacMagic 200M here.
