Cambridge Audio DacMagic XS Review
The Package & Closer Examination »Introduction
Cambridge is one of the brands that really kicked off high-end audio for PCs by releasing their competitively priced DacMagic series some years ago. As with everything else around, their products keep on getting smaller, and today, we will take a look at the DacMagic XS, a small USB-powered DAC/Amp. It packs a brilliant DAC setup and a potent amplifier section, which should drive most of the headphones produced today.
