Looking for a DAC with two switchable optical inputs to upgrade my sound. The sources are an Airport Express and a Sony SCD-CE595. Currently I am using the analog output from the Sony and am quite happy with the sound. The airport express is plugged in (optical) to my Marantz SR7001 receiver, and that sound is only average.
With the Airport Express. occasionally I lose the first half-second or so of the beginning of a song. I believe it is related to the "local clock" issue, outlined in this article in Stereophile .
I am leaning toward the Cambridge DacMagic, but are there other options I should be considering? Would the DacMagic handle the "local clock" issue well?
Cheers,
Mark
