CAMBRIDGE AUDIO Dac Magic Plus Digital to Analogue Converter & Preamplifier BLACK

The DacMagic Plus has fantastic new features including wireless device connectivity and stunning audio performance from music of all formats. Thanks to twin DACs it instantly improves audio fidelity from all your favourite digital products allowing you to make your computer, TV, Blu-ray player and other devices a true part of your hi-fi system.

 PURE PROCESS

The DacMagic Plus works by taking a direct digital audio signal from your computer, TV or other device - bypassing their built-in digital to analogue converters.

This signal is then carefully analysed and upgraded using our ATF2 upsampling system. Once this process is complete, the DacMagic Plus outputs your music as a much purer analogue signal straight to your amplifier.

Custom developed by our dedicated team in the heart of London, DacMagic Plus is totally flexible and supports digital music of all formats. It even allows you to upgrade 24-bit music files stored on your PC for better-than-CD performance from your digital music collection.

Watch the video opposite to find out why our proprietary ATF2 upsampling technology makes such a difference to the sound produced by our DACs.

Digital to Analogue Converter

Thanks to a Wolfson 24-bit DAC, a 24-bit/96kHz driverless USB Audio 1.0 input and S/PDIF and TosLink digital inputs, the DacMagic 100 takes the sound from your computer, iPod, TV and other digital devices and adds detail, depth and added clarity to give you a true audio experience.

Generally the digital to analogue converter found in typical digital devices is pretty poor and won’t extract the truest quality of audio from your sources. The DacMagic 100 works by taking a direct digital audio signal from your device to bypass its soundcard or DAC. It then digitally processes the audio signal using our custom designed technology, dramatically improving sound quality and reducing distortion. This results in greater detail, sparkling clarity and a deeper scale to all of your audio.

Transit Pro is a super-high resolution USB/DSD (Direct Stream Digital) converter that takes audio signal from your computer and delivers the highest quality digital (optical)/analog signal to any audio component. The key to Transit Proʼs outstanding audio performance is its 32bit/384kHz digital "engine,” which delivers a super-wide bandwidth frequency response, ultra-wide dynamic range and an extremely low noise floor. There are eight user-selectable sampling rates between 44.1 and 384kHz so you can achieve the exact performance level needed for any given circumstance.

Transit Pro has a built-in high quality headphone amplifier with both ¼-inch and 1/8-inch jacks, for connecting any headphones directly without the need for an adapter. Transit Pro is USB-bus-powered or you can use an optional AC wall adapter (not included). Transit Pro is the answer when you need to deliver a reference-quality digital signal from your computer to an external audio component.
