Studio Quality Audio with MQA

The DacMagic 200M supports MQA (Master Quality Authenticated), an award-winning British technology that delivers studio-quality sound in a file small enough to stream. Services like TIDAL use MQA to provide master-quality audio in their Hi-Fi tiers. The DacMagic 200M fully decodes and plays back MQA files, ensuring you hear music exactly as the artist intended.

Look for the blue MQA indicator on the device, signalling playback of an MQA Studio file approved by the artist or producer. The green indicator confirms decoding of an MQA music file.

Powerful Processing

At its core, the DacMagic 200M features dual ESS Sabre DACs that convert digital files with exceptional accuracy and minimal distortion. Whether your music is stored on CDs, smartphones, or computers, this DAC preserves all dynamics and detail for a convincing and complete sound.

Easy Integration & Connectivity

Despite its advanced technology, the DacMagic 200M fits neatly into any audio setup thanks to its compact and durable steel and aluminium design. It requires only a balanced or unbalanced connection and mains power to deliver a significant sonic upgrade.

Connect your digital sources easily via optical, coaxial, USB, or wirelessly through Bluetooth aptX. The DacMagic 200M also offers both balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs and includes a high-quality headphone amplifier with a 6.3mm output for private listening at any volume.
