Is it really so bad ? I think not. It sounds not flat or dull, or sharp.

I tried the Cambridge Dacmagic on the digital output of the Airport-express. Compared to the "original" sound of the analog output, i was not impressed. So i did not buy it. I do not know what's inside of the iMac, considering the DAC. Sometimes i think the "magic" of seperate dac's is exaggerated.

Anyone tell me different story ?
