Sweeeeeet. O.K...so I'll just say it and be done. The sound is truly lovely, and a definite step up from the DacMagic. And +1 on what everybody else has said about it.
I'm going to fiddle with the different filters for a while, but I'm not terribly optimistic I'll be able to hear much difference between them...never really could on the DacMagic, either. It's not quite as pretty as the DacMagic (and the lights are red instead of blue), but it looks o.k. enough w/the rest of my gear. WAF is actually pretty high. Small annoyance: the bit of digital noise when changing sample rates. If anybody here in the US is interested in buying a DacMagic in perfect shape (silver), PM me. -- rgro Rick System information ------------------------ Main: PS Audio Quintet > Touch (wired) via spdif coax > Rega DAC > Marantz PM8003 > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.
