Hi I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or reports on the new DacMagic 100. I had been gearing up to get the original DacMagic but when I went to buy it I discovered it had been replaced by the 100.
Im particularly curious how it compared to the original, obviously it has less inputs but some improved mechanics (at least in terms of specs and the newer Wolfson chip) but gone are the twin dacs, gone is the unsampling, gone is the filters. So im left wondering is the device better or worse at playing music, have they deliberately gutted the original to make the dM Plus seem more of a step up?
I had been trying to decide between the rDac and the DacMagic for my system, getting a hold of either for testing where I am in awkward (I live in Germany but was just briefly over in the UK). My intended usage is to connect my Apple TV 2 to my Arcam Alpha 8 system for lossless audio.
