Last updated: June 6, 2022 10:50. Revision #5874

1. Standby/On – Switches the unit between on and low power standby.

2. Source – Select incoming audio source. Toggle between USB, Digital Inputs 1, and 2, and Bluetooth. The selected input will be indicated by the

corresponding LED.

3. Digital volume control – Adjust the volume when Digital Preamp (variable) mode is enabled. Pressing this knob will result in a mute toggle.

4. Filter – Press to select between three diﬀerent ﬁlter modes: Fast, Slow, and Short Delay. This selected ﬁlter mode will be indicated by the

corresponding LED.

5. Incoming sample rate – When the DacMagic 200M is receiving an incoming digital stream, the relevant LED will light up to indicate the

incoming digital sampling frequency. For MQA the LED will light up green for MQA, or blue for MQA Studio. If the LED is magenta, then the unit is

rendering an MQA stream or ﬁle, completing the processing, and allowing playback at the highest possible audio quality. DSD will light up when

native DSD or DoP streams are detected.

Note: The sample rate LEDs reﬂects the incoming sample rate, and not that of the original source.

Rear panel connections

Last updated: June 1, 2022 08:48. Revision #5875

1. Unbalanced audio outputs – Outputs for use with unbalanced RCA cables.

2. Balanced audio outputs – Outputs for use with balanced XLR cables. Suitable for when a longer connection is needed between the DacMagic

200M, and an ampliﬁer.

3. Digital inputs 1 and 2 – The DacMagic 200M oﬀers two digital inputs allowing a wide range of sources to be connected via the use of S/P DIF

co-axial, or TOSLINK optical.

4. USB audio in – For connecting to PC/Mac computers for USB Class 2.0 Audio playback. Please note that for Windows devices the Cambridge

Audio USB Audio driver must be installed.

5. Ground/Lift switch – When connected to a PC via USB, and with the switch set to ‘ground’, the DacMagic 200M will ground itself via the USB

connection. Setting the switch to ‘lift’ will ground the device via an internal network to reduce hum in case of ground loops.

6. Bluetooth antenna – Used for the wireless streaming of Bluetooth audio from most phones, tablets, and laptops.

7. DC 12V 2.0A power adaptor socket – Note: Only use the power supply included with the DacMagic 200M.

Getting connected

Last updated: June 1, 2022 08:50. Revision #5877

Initial setup

Connect your chosen digital audio source(s) to the input(s) on the DacMagic 200M via:1.

TOSLINK optical - which oﬀers high quality transfer over shorter distances

S/P DIF coaxial - which can be used for longer connections

USB audio to connect to a PC, or Mac.

Connect the audio outputs to the line-input of your ampliﬁer using the unbalanced RCA connections for shorter distances, or the balanced2.

XLR connections for longer distances.

Using the appropriate plug for your region, connect the supplied power adaptor to the DacMagic 200M.3.

Power on the unit and select the input source that you wish to listen to using the source button located on the front panel.4.

Note: For Bluetooth connections, please follow the instructions from the Bluetooth section of the manual.

If there is no power to the unit, please see the following steps

Check that the supplied 12V PSU is securely connected to the power adaptor socket on the rear of the DacMagic 200M.1.

Conﬁrm that the PSU is securely connected to the mains socket, and that the socket is switched on.2.

If a hum or buzzing sound can be heard after setup, please see the following steps

Check that all connections between Source(s) > DacMagic 200M > Ampliﬁer are secure. 1.

Move the unit away from any nearby lighting, or mains cables that could cause interference.2.

If connected to a PC or Mac via USB, switch ‘Ground Lift’ switch to ‘lift’.3.

Audio output connections

Balanced connection to a CXA81

Unbalanced connection to a CXA81

Note: Do not turn the unit on until all necessary connections have been made.

The DacMagic 200M oﬀers both balanced (XLR), and unbalanced (RCA) audio output connections.

In the case of longer connections between the DacMagic 200M and your ampliﬁer we would recommend the use of a balanced connection via XLR

as this can help to reject noise, and interference in the cable.

It is possible to use both balanced, and unbalanced connections at the same time, for example: when connecting to multiple ampliﬁers, or a multi-

room setup.
