Dac's? anyone tried the new Cambridge Dacmagic-B

I have just tried the new (to give it's full title) Cambridge Audio Azur Dacmagic-B Upsampling Dac.....very nice and available for silly money..upscales to 24bitx192khz, has balanced out/usb in and x2 normal inputs, can process between 16 - 24 bit input via Wolfson Dacs.....forget paying stupid money try one!

I've decided on the dacMagic. My wife has ordered one for my birthday, so now it's waiting time...

It's a very nice piece for the price for sure. The Cambridge 840c player sounds a touch better, but you can't beat the value. Build quality is fine in my opinion and even better than you'd expect for $399. Music Hall has one comming out too though that should be pretty sweet at $595. It will have a tube output stage, and a built in headphone amp. You can't beat the value there! It's definately time though that somebody made a good DAC for under a grand!

Audiobroke,
Did you use the 840c as a seperate dac. If so can you highlight some of the differences between the magic and 840c as DAC's?
