Cambridge Dacmagic? Real improvmt or hype?


I have zero appreciable diff using this dac and wondering if it is real or hype or am I not hooking it up properly. I have a McCormack DNA-1 / Adcom GFP 750/ and Rotel RDV 1050. Also connected a western digital media player into the dac.
I use optical toslink to connect cd and media player to the dac and then analog rca from dac to preamp?
Would using the balanced outputs make a significant diff?

I love Toslink myself. But that shouldn't matter. I'm more likely to believe that the dacmagic is your weak spot considering the rest of your gear. IMHO. Have you considered trying out some other higher-end dacs in your rig? You may be surprised.
