For Sale is a USED Cambridge Audio DacMagic XS. This little devices is both a DAC and a Heaphone amp. It does a GREAT job, and it has physical volume up and down buttons. To me this is a HUGE plus when using it with your laptop. Easier than using a volume slider or the laptop buttons. This device DOES NOT have a line out like the Audioquest DragonFly or Meridian Explorer.
This is a USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 device. It can accept a 24-bit/192kHz music stream in USB 2.0 mode, or in USB 1.0 mode a 24-bit/96kHz. It has a LED that indicates the sampling rate of the incoming signal – blue for 44.1/48kHz, green for 88.2/96kHz and purple to indicate 176.4/192kHz – and volume limits.
I am selling it because I get to use it once a month at max, my headphones don’t really need that much volume to get loud, and I figured someone else here might enjoy it more.
It’s in MINT condition. The ONLY small issue (which I just noticed) is that the USB cord has a chip in the plastic (in second to last picture see top middle), and there are some small scratches that you dont see on the bottom of the USB cable (same picture in the bottom) which have been HIGHLIGHTED for you to see. In normal use, you wont notice any of them. As you can use any USB cable to Micro USB cable you have, this shouldn’t be considered a deal breaker.
Currently these are selling for 190 at most retailers. I am asking 160 shipped to your door. I have the original packaging, but don’t have it on me to take pictures of. This WILL SHIP in the original packaging. I ship insured, signature required, with more than adequate packaging.
I prefer payment via PayPal but may accept other forms of payment. PM me about that.

No you can't say that.
That's not something you say but something you do.
