"Designed for the user who might want better audio from games or other sources as well as CD, the compact DacMagic delivers excellent sound, and will satisfy the more dedicated audiophile too. With a lucid, flowing sound, it could bring new life to many older CD players, even those well above its price class."

"... the Cambridge does seem to tick more boxes than the others. It manages to sound simultaneously precise and lively, civilised and rhythmic and we reckon it deserves the standing it has rapidly earned itself as one of the bargains of the decade."
