The Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 is a compact, high-performance digital-to-analogue converter designed to significantly upgrade the sound quality of your digital music sources. By bypassing the inferior internal soundcards found in computers, TVs, and set-top boxes, it processes audio using a premium Wolfson 24-bit DAC. The result is a sound that is cleaner, deeper, and far more detailed, bringing you closer to the original recording whether you are streaming music, watching movies, or playing games.

  • USB Audio: Asynchronous USB audio input allows for high-quality connection to computers (supports up to 24-bit/192kHz).

  • Plug and Play: Works without drivers on most setups for immediate audio improvement.

PURE DIGITAL. TRUE DETAIL.

Most digital devices, like laptops and TVs, treat audio as an afterthought, using cheap internal DACs that introduce noise and distortion. The DacMagic 100 takes a direct digital signal from your device and processes it using its high-quality Wolfson WM8742 DAC. This dedicated conversion clears up the "digital haze," revealing the subtle nuances, textures, and dynamics in your music that were previously lost.

UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY

The DacMagic 100 acts as a versatile hub for your digital audio. With two coaxial inputs, one optical input, and a USB connection, you can connect up to four devices simultaneously—such as a CD player, media streamer, games console, and computer. It supports a wide range of digital formats, including studio-master quality 24-bit files and lossless audio, ensuring that whatever you listen to sounds its absolute best.

SOUND FIRST DESIGN

Despite its entry-level price and compact size, the DacMagic 100 is engineered with the same "Sound First" philosophy as Cambridge Audio's flagship products. It uses premium components throughout to ensure low distortion and high signal integrity. The robust metal casing not only looks great but also dampens vibrations and shields the internal circuitry from interference, ensuring a pure and uncolored sound.
