### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Initial review
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2013*

Hardly any reviews on this product at the moment. Took a gamble and bought one - currently have a DacMagic Plus 'desktop' DAC which is pretty good and worked on the assumption that this 'portable' DAC might have similar qualities.It does. Not only that, it's genuinely tiny! Certainly something you could chuck into a laptop bag along with a decent pair of in-ear phones.Coupled with audirvana pro on a macbook, and a pair of Klipsch X10i's, the sound quality is very good. It's never going to be as good as a desktop setup (e.g. DacMagic Plus and AKG K702's), but it is reasonably close to that quality. Slight loss of sound stage focus, bass a little lacking in punch, but what can you expect from such a tiny package?!Very pleased with this DAC - plays up to 192Khz files, 24bit, with no difficulties and the headphone amp is very effective (bit too good, actually - watch out for high volume!).The usb cable seems a tad budget, but you could always replace this if needs be (not sure if you would really notice much difference though). Seems well made (it's an aluminium box, so not much to say!) and looks durable enough.

    Ideal for giving HD music and decent headphones boost while sat at your PC
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2013*

This box of tricks will certainly give you your bang for buck, considering its diminutive size it kicks out up to a 150mW from its solid state circuitry with nothing more than its casing as a heat-sink. Tiny it may be but its feature set belies its form factor. All you need to do is download the USB 2.0 driver for Windows from cambridgeaudio.com's support page and you have got 24/192 in yours ears(provided you have those FLAC files)No less than 54 volume steps if you care to count them and simple, intuitive double and long key presses on the + & - buttons will provide you with the array of settings. Confirmed on every keystroke by the multi-coloured micro LED indicator. The PDF User Manual provided on the cambridgeaudio.com site couldn't be any easier to follow and for Mac users the set-up configurations are even easier!Needless to say, this guy now sits permanently plugged in at the side of my PC and is in its carry pouch just as soon as I'm off on my travels along with my HD music library that's growing by the week!!

    Almost Perfect
  

*by S***7 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2014*

I didn't give this 5 stars for a few reasons. My reasons are:1. The product gets extremely hot while in use. This is supposed to be normal for the device but is hard to ignore. (MAJOR issue)2. The microUSB slot is not 100% sturdy so you might feel very slight movement (when connected) after using the product for some time. This might cause concern for some. That being said, it is hardly noticeable and does not affect connectivity. I only noticed it because I've come across many devices with microUSB slots so loose that they occasionally get disconnected. (MINOR issue)3. The not-so-straightforward process of installing and using the USB 3.0 components of the device. I had almost concluded I couldn't install them until I eventually figured things out. The installation guides exists but are not as clear as they could be. (MINOR issue for me. Possibly MAJOR for others)The DacMagic XS has been a great find in spite of those issues. The device has been especially useful as a sound card replacement since mine stopped working last year. I can't really hear a clear difference in quality between various files but I only listen to 320kbps MP3 and FLAC files so its probably harder to notice anyway. I would give this product 4.5 stars if there were such a rating.
