In general, the digital-to-analog converters in conventional digital devices are rather poor and are not capable of getting the best sound out of your sources. The DacMagic 100 directly taps the digital audio signal from your devices, bypassing their sound card or DAC. Then the audio signal is digitally processed with the self-developed technology, which dramatically improves the sound quality and reduces distortion. This results in greater detail, clearer highs, and greater depth for all your audio.
