Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M Digital to Analogue Converter and Headphone Amplifier
Unveiling the Art of Sound with Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M
In the world of high-fidelity audio, the journey from a digital audio file to the lush landscape of sound that reaches our ears is nothing short of magical. At the heart of this transformation is the digital-to-analog converter (DAC), an unsung hero in our quest for acoustic perfection. Enter the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M, a device that doesn't just bridge the digital divide—it elevates your listening experience to new heights.
The Essence of High-Resolution Audio
The DacMagic 200M is engineered for the audiophile who craves purity and depth in their music. Dual ESS Sabre ES9028Q2M DACs lie at the core of this machine, offering unparalleled sound quality and a frequency response that stretches from 10Hz to 50kHz. This ensures that every note is rendered with crystal-clear precision, from the lowest bass to the highest treble.
A Symphony of Features
- Versatile Connectivity: Whether you're streaming wirelessly or plugging in a traditional source, the DacMagic 200M connects seamlessly. With USB, coaxial, and optical inputs, plus Bluetooth aptX, you're covered for all scenarios.
- MQA Full Decoding: Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) technology unfolds the sound exactly as it was captured in the studio, delivering the purest form of the recording.
- Superior Headphone Amplification: With a robust Class A/B amplifier, your headphones will reveal new layers in your favorite tracks, driving anything from sensitive in-ears to demanding over-ears with ease.
- Tailored Listening Experience: Choose from three digital filters—Fast, Slow, Short Delay—to shape the sound to your preference.
- Build and Design: A steel enclosure with a thick aluminum faceplate not only looks sleek but also ensures your audio signal is protected from electronic interference.
The Power of Dual DACs
The decision to incorporate dual ESS Sabre DACs is a testament to Cambridge Audio's commitment to audio excellence. By employing a dual-mono configuration, the DacMagic 200M achieves superb channel separation, bringing an expansive soundstage and pinpoint imaging that allows each instrument to breathe freely.
Wireless Freedom with No Compromise
Bluetooth technology has made listening convenient, but often at the cost of sound quality. The DacMagic 200M dispels this concern with aptX support, ensuring that your wireless audio is as rich and detailed as a wired connection.
Decoding the Future of Music
With full MQA compatibility, the DacMagic 200M is future-proof. It fully decodes MQA files, including MQA Studio tracks, ensuring that you are listening to the music exactly as the artists intended.
For the Love of Headphones
The built-in headphone amp is a marvel in its own right. It drives a wide range of headphone impedances, from 10 to 600 Ohms, with a power output that brings out the best in your cans. Moreover, the dedicated volume control ensures that your personal listening session is always intimate and immersive.
A Build That Resonates
The construction of the DacMagic 200M speaks volumes of its quality. From the aluminum fascia to the robust steel box, it's crafted to not only look good but also to serve as a fortress against interference, keeping your audio signal pure.
The Heart of Your Home Theater
Dreamedia understands the importance of a central piece that ties your home theater together. The DacMagic 200M is that piece. It's compact enough for a desktop setup yet powerful enough to be the cornerstone of your hi-fi system.
Full Control at Your Fingertips
LED indicators provide at-a-glance information about input, filter selection, and incoming music resolution. This immediate feedback allows you to adjust settings on the fly, ensuring you're always in command of your audio experience.
A Sound Investment
With an MSRP of $550, the DacMagic 200M stands as an accessible entry into high-end audio. It's a testament to Cambridge Audio's dedication to delivering full-featured DAC and headphone amplification at a price that respects your budget and your passion for sound.
