Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M Digital to Analogue Converter And Headphone Amplifier
Dual ESS Sabre DACs • MQA playback • Balanced XLR + RCA outputs • Built-in headphone amp • Bluetooth aptX
Overview — Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M Digital to Analogue Converter And Headphone Amplifier
The Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M Digital to Analogue Converter And Headphone Amplifier is designed to upgrade the sound of your streamer, CD transport, TV, or computer with premium ESS Sabre conversion and a versatile connection set. Dual ESS ES9028Q2M DACs support high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/768 kHz PCM and DSD512 via USB, plus MQA decoding for compatible content. Choose fixed or variable output to run it as a pure DAC into an integrated amplifier, or as a digital preamp feeding a power amp or active speakers. A built-in headphone amplifier makes it equally at home on a desktop or in a full-size hi-fi rack.
Tip: Set output to Variable when driving a power amplifier or active speakers directly; use Fixed when feeding an integrated amp or preamp.
Highlights & Benefits
- High-resolution DAC performance — dual ESS Sabre DACs with selectable digital filters (Fast, Slow, Short Delay).
- Connectivity for modern systems — USB-B for PC/Mac, plus two optical and two coaxial inputs for streamers, transports, and TVs.
- Balanced system-ready outputs — XLR for long cable runs and low-noise integration, with RCA as a universal option.

- One-box upgrade — the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M Digital to Analogue Converter And Headphone Amplifier improves both speaker and headphone playback from the same sources.
Technology & Design
Dual ESS ES9028Q2M DACs — dedicated conversion for left and right channels for improved separation and low noise.
Selectable digital filters — tailor transient response and presentation using Fast, Slow, or Short Delay modes.
Fixed or variable output modes — run as a traditional DAC or as a digital preamp with volume control.
Bluetooth convenience — quick playback from phones/tablets using Bluetooth with aptX support.
FAQ
Can I connect a computer for hi-res audio?
Yes. Use the USB-B input for PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz and DSD512 (format support depends on your playback software and settings).
Should I use XLR or RCA outputs?
Use XLR when your amplifier/actives support it, especially for longer cable runs. RCA is ideal for universal compatibility.
Is the headphone output always volume-controlled?
Yes. The headphone output is designed for variable listening control, and is independent of fixed/variable settings for the main outputs.
