The Cambridge Audio DACMAGIC 200M DAC operates as a dedicated desktop digital-to-analogue converter designed for audio enthusiasts managing multiple high-resolution digital playback sources. Built with dual ESS SABRE ES9028Q2M processors in a dual-mono configuration, each audio channel receives separate signal paths to reduce channel crosstalk and background noise. As a benchmark among compact DAC's, it processes PCM signals up to 32-bit/768kHz, native DSD512, and full hardware MQA streams directly from computers, streamers, and CD transports.The Hi-Fi Centre Team TakeThe Cambridge Audio DACMAGIC 200M serves as an authoritative digital anchor on a desk or media rack, providing an immediate lift in spatial clarity and instrument separation. The front-panel LED indicators give clear, direct confirmation of incoming sampling frequencies and active reconstruction filters, eliminating guesswork during critical listening. Its dedicated front-facing headphone stage provides clean, controlled drive for evening sessions without introducing audible background hiss. Living with the unit day to day highlights an even-handed, fatigue-free character that keeps extended listening sessions consistently engaging.Key Features Dual-Mono Architecture: Employs dedicated ESS SABRE ES9028Q2M processors per channel to minimise crosstalk and lower noise floors. Selectable Digital Filters: Offers Fast, Slow, and Short Delay filter modes to match distinct acoustic preferences. Integrated Headphone Amplifier: Delivers Class A/B amplification through a 6.35mm jack to drive high-impedance headphones cleanly.
