As for a DAC, I too had the Cambridge DacMagic which was very good IMHO. I sold mine to a friend and am now using a Yulong DA8

The diff between this and the DacMagic is like day and night. It will play all resolutions up to and including the highest DSD rate.
And the reason I got it is not just the DAC/Analog conversion, but the fact that it is a very good headphone amp as well.
Great reviews @:

... of investing in some headphones and that would seem an interesting route.
WHat phones are you using?
I have been thinking of something from this range...
but also because they are in studios far and wide and have been the go to HP for a large block of time I use the Sennheiser HD 600. They sound "right" to me. They are comfortable as well.Since I sit 16 feet away from the Yulong I had Cardas make me a cable that is 18 feet long, it was not cheap!
When I engage the headphone amp it cuts the volume on the pre amp and speakers to a very low level, I love that feature.
Back in the 1970s when I was part owner of a studio in LA I absolutely hated headphones, now I love them and use them several times a week.
