  1. I picked one of these up over the weekend to run with a new HTPC via optical out.<br /> <br /> I got it before I had received the new computer so it was running on my old system via coax from an M-Audio Delta 24/96 to a basic Cambridge A5 and Sony SS176E's; I wasn't expecting much difference when playing ALAC songs from the previous setup (RCA to amp) but I was blown away by the difference. The music was much more in the room, and more vibrant.<br /> <br /> I've now got the new computer, and the dacmagic hasn't been without its difficulties. I have yet to get any sound from the optical out despite the computer registering that it is working (any hints here would be good!) so it's running from USB, which limits you to 16bit and 48kHz output, and the linear phase lamp has packed up. But I don't care, the difference is staggering even with these settings.
