About this deal

Parties who do not comply with this will be required to pay compensation and be prosecuted in accordance with section 38. If you feel / hear that you are not getting the sound you expect, you may want to purchase a separate DAC converter. In the sockets that I use, the signal pin, it enters a brass or copper sleeve, which certainly provides a better connection quality than the “fork” shown in the picture below, which I took out from the factory set socket. Unfortunately, my knowledge about the quality of relays is small, so I based the information provided by the manufacturer, and from them it resulted, that the relay is of decent quality (gold-plated contacts). DacMagic 100 has a lot of potential and possibility, I can hear it, I just need to help it spread his wings a bit.

Of course adding such a large capacity at the output of the LM350 regulator would be a mistake, if I was designing a universal power supply, to power everything, because it certainly has a negative effect on the ability to respond to load changes by the LM350.Man does not see reality as it is, but only as he perceives it, and his perception may be mistaken or biased. There is no headphone amplifier, no Bluetooth connection, moreover, the user wont be able to select from any digital filters.

I don't think it has the level of high frequency detail that some chips feature and is very pleasing to my ears. These LEDs light up when their respective input sources are selected, helping you confirm your chosen input.

Bought the DacMagic 100 yesterday for my new Samsung 4K TV that has only optical output, I’ve connected up to my Cyrus 6 amp and it sounds bloody good, very impressed with my first stand alone dac. The DacMagic 100 comes packed with high-tech engineering designed to extract better sound from all your digital sources. Good luck - the people at Richer said the Arcam irDac was a bit more 'spacious' and further back in terms of sound stage whereas the Dacmagic 100 was more forward and 'in your face'. I'm not a big Zeppelin fan, but I couldn't help but notice how much more articulate the bottom end sounded without sacrificing any of the whomp.

To me, the overall sound has improved by using the DM100 compared to going directly to the Kantos from the MBP.

Changing the capacity of the capacitor had a clear impact on the quality, which is why I recommend using the largest possible capacitor. The larger capacitor has a capacity of 10uF, while the smaller capacitance I did not check, because I would have to desolder it, and I was afraid that I would not sold it back again, due to the small dimensions. Big shoutout to Audio Advice for the loaner unit as well as they’re continued non-monetary support of the blog and channel over the years!
