NEW CA DACMagic+

Been reading about it, and wondering how good is the headphone stage? Cambridge audio is also planning to release more models this year.

If you buy it, get the Pangea P100 power supply also (once it's available...they need a proper size P100 cable as the one supplied for the DACMagic won't fit the "plus"). I imagine it will be offered (from Audio Advisor) as a package deal although I bought P100s for my DACMagic and 650P phono pre from Amazon to save shipping fees. Based on all this, I'll likely buy the "plus" eventually although since I don't currently need the usb feature I'm in no hurry. You can read about the P100 in the new Stereophile.

If you buy a "plus", get the Pangea P100 power supply also (once it's available...they need a proper size P100 cable as the one supplied for the DACMagic won't fit the "plus"). These power supplies ROCK ASS (is that a sophisticated technical description?) so to speak. I imagine it will be offered (from Audio Advisor) as a package deal although I bought P100s for my DACMagic and 640P from Amazon to save shipping fees. Don't tell them. Based on all this, I'll likely buy the "plus" eventually although since I don't currently need the usb feature I'm in no hurry. You can read about the P100 in the new Stereophile. I'm still enamored of the DACMagic although the competition has heated up...nobody seems to make a DAC with the same variety of inputs and outputs and the P100 elevates the sound to a level comparable to stuff costing a LOT more. I encourage people to please buy the "plus" so I can get a used one eventually.
