I really like the quality and in house production of this company
I have a Rega DAC in my headphone setup. Moved it from my 2 channel setup when I got the CA Stream Magic 6.
I like the Rega DAC sound. It is nice an earthy, with a full body sound and it is very resolving as well. It is very musical, and good with all sorts of music, from rock, pop, jazz, classical.
The Stream Magic 6 DAC section (same as the CA DacMagic Plus) is a bit brighter then the Rega DAC, and a tad less musically involving.
I'm liking the Rega sound so far, although using it with an el-cheapo 1.5 m usb printer cable. I answered my own question regarding break-in when reading though the entire thread. I have an audiophilleo / Purepower on order and some ww usb cables to try out. Has anyone found any higher-end usb cables to make much of a difference when using them with a USB to SPDIF converter?
I would say I am 99% sure that expensive audiophile USB are simply a waste of money and will make no difference.
