Ah, with some critical thinking my other option is to use the onboard Kanto Yu2 DAC instead of my DAC magic... Not ideal but less messy - and the advantage of no analog wiring! I hope the built in DAC is good though.

Wow I didn't even realise the Chromecast Audio was phased out. I bought one a while back to attach to my amp just as an easy way for people to connect spotify and I really liked it (of course turn the high dynamic range option on)

Hey all, long time no see. OK I know what you guys are probably thinking (balanced to unbalanced) but hear me out: I have a Cambridge Audio Azur DACMagic which has two outputs - unbalanced RCA, and balanced dual 3-pin XLR. The RCA is in use, going to my main amp which drives my floorstanders. I...

Hi all, i have a Cambridge Audio azur 650A (link to details/amp spec randomly from google)   It has 2 speakers channels - A & B. Only B is working - I thought A was completely dead but after some trial and error I found the following:   I turned off the amp from the back switch for a...

OK thanks, yeah i came to that conclusion as well - but then i just thought i might as well buy a standalone USB mic like a samson meteor - but i guess an audio interface like the one you mentioned would allow me to change mic as i please (and probably more quality)   thanks for the clarification!

Hi all, this is my setup:   PC > SPDIF to Cambridge Audio DAC Magic > Cambridge Audio Azur 650A Amplifer > Wharfedale XARUS XR-5000 speakers   Now I'm doing recording and music composing but my 20 year old PC mic doesn't cut it, and the mic i will get will need a preamp if my understanding...

Budget is around £200   So far i've seen CAMBRIDGE AUDIO AZUR 650A Manufacturer Refurbished with 12 Months Richersounds Outlet Warranty   for £225     i'm not too bothered about bi-wiring anymore...

I still haven't replaced my Technics Amp! And its starting to die now... same setup!   Any suggestions?   Maybe Cambridge Audio Azur 650A...?

Hello   I have... 2x Denon S3500 CD decks 1x Technics A600mk2 Amp (will be upgraded soon) PC with Cambridge Audio DACMagic 2x Wharfedale Xarus 5000   Need a mixer! I was thinking of the Behringer DJX 700 Hope someone can help suggest this mixer or any other!   Looking to...

bump still looking for some ideas! My current amp is my weak link,,,

Quote: Hmmm alright then thanks, I guess that makes my selection better!   The DACMagic has the option of XLR outputs. Should I go for an amp with XLR inputs? I wanna know if its worth it... is there a price difference?   Whats the best places to get older equipment? I would like...

SO I have a PC which i'm using a P5k-E wifi deluxe onboard digital out (SPDIF) into a cambridge audio DACmagic into the amp i'm about to buy into a pair of Wharfedale XARUS XR-5000 (has dual inputs)   Specs of speakers (Xarus 5000)   Bass: 8" 200mm Midrange: 8" 200mm Tweeter...

Hi again all   I still don't have a DAC, but i'm gonna upgrade my amp   Should i get a hybrid digital/analogue amp? Or just an analogue amp with a separate DAC?   Standalone DAC sounds like it will be better...

I preferable want one with multiple outs (ie so i dont have to disconnec PC to put on xbox)   hows the Cambridge Audio DACmagic?   http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/summary.php?PID=320

in fact i would go as far to say that music from the PC is the most important thing xbox sound is not important (soz for doublepost)
