Cambridge Stream Magic 6

摘要

Since we last appraised Cambridge Audio's Sonata NP30 and Stream Magic 6 network players our criticism that they didn't support gapless playback has been rectified. Software updates have added both gapless playback capability and support for ALAC files. At the heart of the Stream Magic 6 is Cambridge's DacMagic Plus (£350) D-to-A converter. It employs twin Wolfson WM8740 DACs in a dual differential configuration and Anagram Technologies' ATF2 24-bit/384kHz upsampling (with a choice of three filter settings) using an Analog Devices 32-bit DSP. As the unit has an asynchronous USB interface. Audio Class 2 drivers for PCs are available from the website.
