PS audio digital link 3 or similiar Dac

I am in need of a new Dac and this one is on my radar. As there seems to be a plethora of these available, I would appreciate some comments on the sound quality of these units. I am looking to get something that has a slight warmth and not clinical and hyper detailed. Other suggestions would be appreciated. How about Cambridge Dacmagic. These don't seem to come up very often.

I've been using a DacMagic for a short while and I think it's an incredible value. As far as I can tell, it's sound quality is comparable to the PS. If they were closer in price, maybe the PS would win, but with the price advantage of the DacMagic, it's hard not to choose it.

The other advantage DacMagic has over PS is that it also has a digital pass thru so if you're using a DVD player for both music and movies, you can have a 2 channel analog output for your music and an unprocessed digital signal that can be decoded by a processor for 5.1 coming from the same player through the DacMagic. PS doesn't have a digital pass thru.
