Product Information

You'll hear a stunning improvement in low-level ambient detail along with a wider, deeper soundstage.

These FiiO models are highly recommended as alternatives to the DacMagic 100, providing excellent value for your money. Changes in the capacitance value of Mundorf Mcap capacitors were clearly heard and as the capacities increased, the sound stage and freedom of transmission grew and more details appeared. Looking from the technical side, the lower registers improved the same as the rest of the band, but it lost its energy and differentiation, it has stopped enjoying and surprising so much.According to the art, the output of the voltage regulator should be connected directly to the output of the power supply. With the Fujicon capacitors I already had contact during the modification of the AZUR 651A amplifier. Treated myself to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 and wanted to see what other users have experienced. I hope you enjoyed this Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 Review and came away with some valuable insight. The midrange and the top gained more precision, which added more depth to the stage and better separation of sources.

As in the case of Mundorf Mcap, people who liked the DacMagic 100 energy may be a little mixed up with the result, but since “a piece of wire” introduced such changes, it can only mean that we received this energy at a considerable cost, which I personally can not accept.The high registers have come out on first plan, the midrange was near behind them, and the lower registers remained far behind, although it gained in differentiation compared to Fujicon capacitors. Such a calm in the case of the DacMagic 100 could be considered a disadvantage, but thanks to it increased the diversity and the songs finally began to sound as they should. We have, at Cambridge, always used live unamplified acoustic music as what we design for,” said John Bevier, national sales and product manager at Cambridge Audio.
