DAC Super Pro USB Brings Quality D-to-A on the Cheap

The DAC Super Pro USB from Audio Magus certainly casts little doubt about what it is or what it does. This rather cute little purple DAC is built around a CS-8416 D/A signal receiver, a CS-4398 24bit/192kHz D/A converter and dual LT1364 Op-Amps for the analog output circuit.

It features optical and coaxial digital inputs, and a USB port for use with a computer, making it a great companion for laptops, as its price ($109.95 including cables) is lower than most PCMCIA or ExpressCard based soundcards.

Over the years i have blown all kinds of money to make the old computer match the cd player. Well the old cd player is on the back burner now.
Use .flac/.ape music to usb connection to this little DAC to real audio equipment (adcom/energy) and hold on. This was the missing link to real quality listening from the computer HD. The old Audigy 4 goes to ebay. Mr. Wu at diykits is a salesman who aims to please and for $119 he really delivers. Get this DAC!
