Is this DAC only sampling at 44hz/16 bit? Because I am looking for something that can produce quality music files.

Yes, it's an entry level unit. Works great, but look for better and way more bucks. I now have a benchmark unit but 10 times the price and quality.

It should process the signal at up to 96hz/24 bit, I believe. I did notice that when I started using it there was an improvment in sound quality, so I have been happy with it.

There is always a better DAC out there. In most cases they will cost some serious $$$$. The Schiut Bifrost is excellent for its price. I cannot say though if it will improve the sound from your system because there are more variables than just the DACs. My advice though is to stay with the Oppo's DAC.....even if this is an older model/DAC, they do their players quite well.

additional...if your source files are CD's or MP3the DAC will be uselessin computing ... garbage in garbage out if you have Dog ears might make MP3 sound less "flat" anything less than FLAC source files ... waste of time and money

I'm using mine with a conventional component stereo system, no DAC. Mine is connected directly to my preamp. If you plan to use it with your computer, I think using a DAC between the computer and the Magni will really improve the sound, but I think the Magni will work without it.

It's just a DAC, you need to connect it to a headphone amp or a pre-amp. Mine is connected to a music fidelity xcan-v8p.

The DacMagic has digital inputs but no digital outputs. You run stereo analog cables from its output into either a dedicated headphone amp or a set of corresponding inputs on your receiver.

Well to be clear, it is a very strong USB DAC, with 1000mW (4.3vrms) and 2 outputs 0.47Ohms / 47Ohms sounds amazing on this headphones!

I would go with DAC unless you're interested in more clear lossless formats like FLAC.

the dac is if your pc sound card or mp3 player doesnt sound so great. You probably don't need one for QC 15

Probably not a DAC. Amplifier possibly. Their closed and not incredibly hard to drive, but tbh, the listening experience with even a modest amplifier will be substantially better. I currently use one of the small FiiO amps.

Hi, The manual says "They enable you to use the greatly extended dynamic range of your 24-bit/192-kHz HD recorder to the fullest, thereby maintaining optimal audio quality But the specs say usb 48 khz Guess you'll have to call Behringer on that one.

Thank you for your question , actually most of track I've ripped by me from old CDs , the other part exchanged by my torrent friends , majority of tracks are 44.1/16bit , Fiio.net recommend hdtraks as also X3 came with discount card to by from HDTraks

I would contact the manufacturer. They have amazing customer service. I did some quick research and found compatibility issues with certain configurations. Changing the dsp setting to 32 bit helped solve some issues with asio. From my personal edxperience a dedicated digital converter such as this far outperforms any sound card. Email the manufacturer. If you are serious about the quality of your music this is for you. Seriously brought my system to life.

Absolutely that sounds great. I'm only a novice audiophile but I do my homework and decided not to fight the digital music era and just make the best of it by getting flac files and a tube amp to hookup the dac.

Yes it has a DAC because it has a headphone output jack. I assume the quality of the DAC is the same as the ADC used to digitize the audio to begin with. However, I have not used the phone jack.

It works just as good nothing special. I use my headset with no problem. I'd also invest in a different DAC this one simply doesn't have many benefits.

It already has a good DAC. Whether a better DAC would improve sound really depends on the rest of your system. If you have high end stuff, you might be able to hear a difference. It also has a line-out so you can skip the internal headphone amp. However, I think it sounds fine as is. I would not pair it with other portable dacs/amps as the whole reason for buying it was to have a single, very good sounding unit.
