Cambridge Audio Dac Magic 100 DAC

British brand Cambridge Audio has been developing and designing its products from the heart of London since 1994, with the help of a 30-strong research and development team. This team of music-loving engineers have based the design of the DacMagic 100 on the standard DacMagic, but have increased the resolution (24 bits/192 kHz compared to the DacMagic’s 24 bits/96 kHz).
