Good value and sound

I've got DACs on my HiFi units and also had a DAC Magic 100 which I use on my PC. When I saw the announcement of the DacMagic 200M with MQA I was eager to buy it. In fact I checked Amazon every day during February until it showed as in stock. OK ir's expensive but it includes MQA streaming too which is a great reason to buy if you use Tidal..And I have not been disappointed. Even on standard non-MQA streams the performance is fabulous. I can hear subtleties in music I have listened to for years and not heard before. Everything is brighter nad clearer. And MQA is another level. This really has increased my listening pleasure particularly as I work from home and can listen while I work. Normally I use headphones and a Dragonfly Azure for MQA but now I can use my speakers properlyThis really is an excellent piece of kit and I am very, very pleased with it (even as i type this I'm enjoying some fabulous sounds). You won't be disappointed if you invest in this.

Likes: Pin-sharp sound resolution. A noticeable improvement in my sound system. Unprompted by me, my non-audiophile wife announced "whatever you've done to the stereo, it sounds much clearer".Dislikes: Lack of a remote means you have to get up from your listening position seat to switch the DAC on, and make adjustments. Some of the options make subtle differences and it would be far easier to make A-B comparisons from the listening position.

I have this connected to the Nvidia Shield via USB for headphone listening. Where this really shines is with the Bluesound Nano digital out to the Dacmagic 200M with a pair of ATH M50x headphones.

Matched with a good cd input discs are tranformed and music streamed from a phone is rendered entirely listenable!A very high quality product all round and even beautifully packaged.

Totally satisfied with purchasing this product…Vastly improved my hifi system…Would totally recommend…Dereck.

DAC performance ok, some good connectivity on box and seems well constructed. However I have heard other DACs in this price range with better performance and sound.Seems like I was sent a “refurbished” or not new as had dog hairs on it! Not what you expect when spending best part of 400gbp
