Operating instructions

The DacMagic can be sited in two different positions, as shown in the accompanying diagram. It can be placed horizontally by fitting the four small individual feet, or vertically by using the large rubber ‘foot’.

Power on the DacMagic using the On/Off button on the front panel. After 4-5 seconds, the unit will unmute and the current Source and Filter type will be shown by the front panel LEDs. Using the Source button on the front panel, select the appropriate digital input, i.e. USB , Digital 1 or Digital 2, that you wish to listen to.

Switch on the external source input, e.g. CD player, DVD player, etc. The sampling frequency of the Digital Input will be displayed on the front panel (e.g. for a CD player – 44.1kHz). Momentarily press the Filter/Phase selector button to cycle between three different filter modes.

Start playback of the source equipment. The DacMagic will output analogue audio from the Unbalanced/Balanced outputs upsampled to 192kHz 24bit. A ‘raw’ S/P DIF co-axial and TOSLINK optical digital output is also provided. These outputs can be used to connect a compatible digital recorder, e.g. CD-R/MD, etc. The DacMagic is compatible with Digital Stereo LPCM of a sampling frequency between 32-96kHz.

Note: Being a stereo device, this unit does not decode 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS Bitstreams from a DVD player, etc. When receiving a multi-channel digital input, the analogue audio outputs are muted. However, a 5.1 DD or DTS Bitstream will pass-through to the digital outputs.
