Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M MQA-compatibele digitaal naar analoog converter - USB/coaxiaal/optisch - 768khz DAC-converter met Bluetooth aptX

I have a decent stereo system, but it’s basically an analog system, with the exception of the CD player. My stereo system did have a NAIM Data Streamer, but I hardly used it and traded it in for a REGA Planar 10 turntable. So I listen to vinyls most of the time.I’m an Apple Music subscriber, so at times I would hook my iPhone to my stereo amplifier via a Lightning to stereo RCA connector. The audio quality wasn’t the greatest, but back then Apple Music was only streaming at CD quality resolution, 16-bit/44.1 kHz. Apple Music added two additional data resolution options in 2022. Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/48 kHz and Hi-Res Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz. So it was a no brainer that I needed a DAC to fully utilize the higher resolutions with my Apple Mac and iPhone. Also, to listen music at Hi-Res Lossless, it’s required to connect to a DAC.So after doing some research, I purchased the Cambridge Audio DACMagic 200M and a Lightning OTG MIDI to USB Type-B cord.The sound quality was substantially much better listening to music through the DACMagic. Actually, the sound quality was incredible!Some of the lessons I learned;1. Connecting my CD player to a DAC via the optical digital jack connector, the DAC data resolution input was only 16 bit, 44.1 kHz PCM. Limitations of CD Players. No fault of the DACMagic.2. To see the incoming data rate on the Cambridge Audio DACMagic 200M from my Apple MAC computer, you need to utilize the Audio Midi Setup App. When the computer is connected to the DAC the DACMagic 200M will be displayed on the computer, to be selected. Then from the MIDI Setup select the data resolution format you want to use. Such as 24-bit/192 kHz. This is not necessary when using an iPhone, and the incoming data rate is displayed on the DAC for what ever data resolution you are outputting from the iPhone.3. The DAC size is smaller than what I envisioned, but it’s built very well.4. The Blue Tooth connection works good, but you will not get the sound quality of high resolution that you would if using the MIDI connector.I recently downloaded TIDAL to compare the audio quality with Apple Music. When streaming at high resolution, the audio quality sounded about the same with both. When streaming TIDAL Master Quality Authenticated Albums (MQA), the quality sounded better. The DacMagic does a good job with MQA streaming.June 11, 2023I just recently upgraded my IPhone 7 Plus to an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apparently, the lightning to USB 2.0 interface doesn't connect to the DacMagic 200M with the newer iPhone. I reached out for technical support and Cambridge Audio states they don’t guarantee compatibility with mobile devices and most likely this issue is related to the audio driver for the audio playback.September 23, 2023I just purchased the IPhone 15 Pro which one of its upgrades was replacing the lightning connector with an USB-C connector. That fixed my compatibility interface issue that I had with the IPhone 14. The DacMagic 200M works great!!!

Muy buen equipo el sonido es muy claro y preciso le doy un 10

I am not audiofile nut, but just pluggin it in and first song was just quite more alive, especially the dynamic between quiet and loud is better then expected.Also simple test how good this one is, there is no noise even amp on max and audio output on max from Canbridge as well...Not much else I can say... Thank you

Work fine

Conoscevo attraverso le recensioni sulla stampa specializzata questo vero campione di alta fedeltà inserito nel mio impianto di alto livello non mi ha fatto rimpiangere l’acquisto e ho subito notato la grande apertura della scena sonora la timbrica fedele le velocità dei transienti la dinamica unica pecca è quella di dover usare un pc nel mio caso un Mac da collegare al dac per poter usufruire dei contenuti di TIDAL probabilmente affiancherò un WiiM da usare come trasmettitore tramite app.I
