Gerät funktioniert grundsätzlich super und der DAC klingt hervorragend.
Allerdings leutet nur noch die Source USB LED hell, Digital 1 und Ext. leuchten schwach, Digital 2 leuchtet gar nicht mehr, ebenso Min leuchtet auch nur noch schwach. Wo gibt es einen Support in Berlin/Deutschland?

At time of writing, I’ve had the Dac Magic Plus in my system for around 3-days. Reason for purchase was my previous Dac had failed so after reading reviews, purchased to replace. I have placed this in my system connecting between my Mac and Amp. Firstly, the set up was not so plug and play, and with the lack of an instruction manual supplied in the box, I had to do a lot of research on the Cambridge Audio website as there was no sound, turns out you have to configure the Dac to bypass the pre-amp section, but we got there in the end. Then there is the sound. I have realised why this Dac is so well priced, the sound quality says it all. The sound is quite thin with very little soundstage (well, no where near what i had before). I’ve left the Dac on for a few days and I have to say there is an improvement but, it does still lack the soundstage and it still sounds rather thin. As Cambridge Audio gave a risk free 100-day return policy with this Dac, I will run in for a while and see if things improve, if not it shall be returned.

Bought this 1 week ago. Realized I had a old DVD player from 2005. Hooked up the DVD player to AXR85 directly. Can't tell the difference. The Dac in the old DVD player seems to be as good as the dac magic plus.... I guess the benefits this product provides me are

1. I now can stream music through my phone via bubble upnp to an old window tablet. Use to directly connect to AXR85 Aux with my LG g7, got tired the hard wired way. LG phone however supports MQA natively. With bubble upnp I am stuck with 44.1khz Flac when using Tidal

2. I can usually keep volume at - 50 db now. Before with LG phone I had to turn about 10 +db up. Not sure if this is a benefit but I guess when you turn AXR85 on. Usually the volume is automatically set to around - 50 db

3. Can listen to music that has higher resolution than CD

Otherwise I think there is really no need for a Dac if the purpose is trying to improve a CD/DVD player's sound by using dacmagic plus' Dac instead of the internal built in Dac.

Watched too many ATF2 videos from Ben at cambridge audio set my expectations too high I guess.

I can't really hear any improvements due to upsampling......

I had tons of flac files on my computer and was listening them through computer - amp - speaker set up. One day I was walking in the downtown of my home town when for sheer curiosity I ended up in an audiophile saloon where I asked the question if there is an easy way to improve my listening experience. I had a bit of run-through of how systems are working and I ended up with the following set up : computer - tidal - dacmagic plus - denon amp - a pair of klipsch big boy speakers ... all I can say is : I am in love with it. every day I ask my wife " did you here that ? could you feel it as I did ? and so on. excellent piece of DAC, headphone amp is top-notch, just go and buy it.
