The 2 Cambridge Units do not exhibit any roll off and excel at detail, resolution, transparency and tight accurate bass. Some time in the next 6-9 months I'll probably purchase an ERC-1 for my second system or maybe for my daughter.

I would love to see a comparison with the 2 CA units and a Benchmark DAC.
Blackraven...I have not heard the Cambridge, but I had a Dmagic before sending it back. I was told it was the same DAC as in the 740. I connected it to my Rotel and while it gave it a smoother warmer sound, it took away the detail. Thats why I say I not a fan of Cambridge, because its the same dac. But I must be wrong because you say it has detail. Have you heard the Dmagic and if so, is the detail the same?
