According to our digital/analog converter expert
The DacMagic Plus is the successor to the very popular Cambridge Audio DacMagic. The 'plus' in its name indicates that the new DacMagic provides even more flexibility and value for money. The DacMagic Plus takes the digital signal and upsamples it to a very high-quality 24-bit/384kHz resolution before converting it into analog. Thanks to this high resolution, the DacMagic Plus can, without loss of quality, control the output volume in the digital domain, making the DacMagic Plus even suitable for using it as a digital preamp. You can stream your music from a suitable phone, iPad, or computer directly to the DacMagic Plus using the Bluetooth protocol.
The DacMagic Plus is also fully equipped on the technical level. For example, the DacMagic Plus is equipped with an asynchronous USB input, a digital filter which can be set to three settings, and even a professional, balanced XLR output.

The sound is pleasant, clean and noise-free to listen to. I use them with active speakers. If you connect via USB or Toslink to a Macbook, you control the sound via the volume control on the DacMagic+, not via the computer. I find that a small disadvantage because this is possible with external sound cards. I just miss a bit of dynamics which is also reflected in other reviews.

I already had more Cambridge equipment, and this fits in perfectly. I use this device to connect Apple TV to my analog Cambridge amplifier. Works fine!

Read many reviews and then ordered it from Coolbleu. Delivery top within 24 hours. I use the device to connect audio from PC to stereo so that I can play my music. Top sound much better than PC analog connection to amplifier. It's not cheap but then you also have something good!
