Digital to Audio Converters (DACs)
Cambridge Audio introduced the original DacMagic in 1994 with the specific intention of upgrading CD players. It was received to great acclaim and spawned several incarnations. The digital music revolution means the CD is just one format as people listen to their collection in a totally different way. Therefore, the time is right for a renaissance. The spiritual successor to the original DacMagic allows a range of applications such as PCs, Macintosh computers, Media Center PCs, network music devices and sound bridges to benefit from a DAC’s ability to bring downloaded and compressed content to life.
