Hi there,

Apologies in the delay in getting back to you both!

The DacMagic 100 will be available in stores in early March.
We'd recommend contacting your dealer to reserve one to avoid any dissapointment.

Kind Regards,

Cambridge Audio

Have been waiting to have a listen/borrow this from the Cardiff store to try in my Sonos system.

1. Will this work with the Sonos ZP90?

2. Will it up-sample?

3. Have the bass issues been resolved? (muddy-ish sounding in the old one)

4. Can you post the dimensions? (a minor detail I know)

Many thanks.

1. Will this work with the Sonos ZP90?

Yes, the Sonos ZP90 has a digital output and will work nicely with the DacMagic 100.

2. Will it up-sample?

The DacMagic 100 does not upsample, however, it does use the new Wolfson WM8742 24-bit DAC and will accept up to 24-bit/192kHz input from its digital inputs and USB audio input.



3. Have the bass issues been resolved? (muddy-ish sounding in the old one)

Obviously difficult for us to comment on this as the original DacMagic won hundreds of awards for its sound quality and operation. We are very happy with the sound of the both products and would recommend an audition as soon as the unit is available so that you can hear it for yourself and form your own opinion.

4. Can you post the dimensions? (a minor detail I know)

The dimensions are as follows 105mmx46mmx120mm.

There is a great deal of info on the DacMagic 100 in the link below if you've not read already?

There were no bass issues with the Dacmagic, one can only assume you had other issues relating to room acoustics.

Muddy bass is not something I'd associate with the dacmagic or the new plus, they both err on the bright and lean side if anything.
