    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone?

    What Hi Fi?, for what it's worth, called it "one of the best we've tested" in a recently posted review. What all else they've tested, however, they don't exactly say. But they do make at least a token comparison, saying it combines the "timing, clarity and punch of Beresford's £120 TC-7510...

    Should I upgrade my dac?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for your opinions/suggestions on a dac upgrade. Right now I have a fiio e7 and a millet minimax for an amp. I listen with RS2i's and HD598's. Is the e7 a real bottleneck in my setup? I'm looking to spend under $250 for a new dac, if it is worth getting. Thanks
