hi all
someone came around to my place today and hooked up an older dac- rotel 980- to my system...
it was my first time i ever hooked up a dac to my system
there was a marked improvement ...cleaner sound...better separation of instruments....well rounded bass
admittedly we experimented with speaker placement too and that may have contributed as well
well...hes gone now and so is his dac....and the question begs....
i thought of getting the dacmagic....does anyone have any experience,...opinions on it?
if there was a choice ...should i get his dac(old rotel) with my rotel setup....or the dacmagic....since they would set me back about the same.
rest of my kit
rotel dvd audio player rdv1060
rotel rc 1070 pre-amp
rotel rb1080 power amp
pure sonic analogue interconnects
van den hul cs122 hybrid cables
quad 21L1
i checked the specs on the net the dacmagic weighs about 1,2kg.....the rotel  almost 7kg??????
does anyone know a place/person in ct where i can check out the dacmagic...or have an alternate suggestion
thanks in advance
kind regards
