I Have a DacMagic since it came out and did an upgrade on it.
Since the upgrade dynamics were slightly improved from the start but not like it blew me away.
I compared the DacMagic to a Xindak DAC-8, a high end DAC 3 times the price of a standard DacMagic.
It seems the Xindak itself is only slightly better then my upgraded DacMagic, but only when the Xindak has a standard cheapy powercord.
The thing is, the DacMagic is limited by it's AC power supply but with the Xindak you can have a nice power cord like a Supra i tried.
Only then the difference was nigtht and day!! That blew me away!!
