Enjoy digital music like never before… Adapted Time Filtering (ATF) asynchronous upsampling technology might sound complicated but the benefits are instantly audible. Essentially it converts 16-24 bit audio to 24 bit/192kHz so you hear so much more from compressed material. Meanwhile a 32 bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP) eradicates jitter which is especially effective with hard disk playback from PCs or Macintosh computers. Whether your digital music collection is stored on a PC or you use a network music client, SqueezeboxTM, SoundBridgeTM, SonosTM etc – the difference in audible quality is incredible! Games just explode into life Gaming isn’t just about the moving image. By connecting your games console – PlayStations(PS2 and PS3TM), XboxTM and Xbox 360sTM to your hi-fi via DacMagic, dramatically improved soundtracks and special effects are immediately apparent. DacMagic is an audiophile tour de force! DacMagic sports a range of components you’d never dream could be crammed into such a compact case. These include a 32-bit Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processor (DSP), dual Differential Virtual Earth balanced filter topology and twin Wolfson WM8740 high quality DACs in dual differential mode for excellent stereo imaging. Other features include a choice of digital filters – linear phase/minimum phase/steep filter – and an incoming sampling rate indicator which shows the original source quality. You can experiment with different filters for each source connected but DacMagic always remembers the last one assigned to that source. Its flexible and easy to set-up Up to two digital sources – network music devices, games consoles, CD/DVD players etc. can be connected concurrently using S/PDIF or Toslink inputs. Additionally, you can connect DacMagic directly to your PC using a USB connection (no drivers needed) and dramatically improve the quality of your digital music.

Technical Details
* USB input connects direct to PC without drivers to act as very high quality DAC/soundcard providing genuine hi-fi quality playback from desktop or media PC.
* Two inputs with both SPDIF & Toslink sockets allow wide range of digital sources to be connected.
* Singled ended phono and XLR balanced audio outputs. Digital output (SPDIF and Toslink concurrently) passes through selected source for recording purposes.
* Adaptive Time Filtering (ATFTM) asynchronous upsampling technology converts 16-24 bit audio (at any standard sampling frequency between 32-96kHz) to 24 bit/192kHz. 32 bit Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processor (DSP. Dual Differential Virtual Earth balanced filter topology low order two pole linear-phased Bessel filter takes advantage of high sampling rate achieved.
* Twin WM8740 high quality DACs in dual differential mode for excellent stereo imaging. Incoming sampling rate indicator 32/44.1/48/88.2/96kHz. Choice of filters linear phase, minimum phase and steep filter can all be selected to suit an individuals listening preferences.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
It’s the cheapest;the music is now warm, organic, detailed and full of attack. It is sturdy build and has a very cool and professional look. The device itself has a ton of nice features (such as being able to remember different settings based on input channels) yet is still very easy to use. It comes with three different high quality filters: “linear”, “minimum” and “steep” which can alter the audio experience to your personal taste.
To sum up, if you have a Squeezebox or a similar device, but feel that its analog output is somewhat lacking, then get this brilliant little device.

The new full HD DLP projector from Optamo is capable of delivering an astounding home-cinema experience. Its PureEngine and PureMotion technologies combine to create sharp images with the smoothest of motions.

Technical Details
* Solid brightness with 1600 lumens and a 4000:1 contrast ratio(with ImageAI).
* Native 720p high-definition resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio.
* Light and color processing technologies for remarkable picture quality and contrast levels.
* Sleek and diminutive form factor at 4 pounds with extensive connectivity options.
* Display Technology: DarkChip2 DLP Technology by Texas Instruments Resolution: Native 720p Resolution: 1080p (1920 x 1080) Brightness: 1600 Lumens.

PROS:
-Colors are great and accurate. Skin tones looks natural.
-Contrast is very good.
-I’m seeing details in the dark areas.
-Almost silent projector.(fan is very quiet even in Bright mode).
-The image is really bright(1600 lumens).
-Image looks uniform (a bit of noise in the black levels but you can barely see it).
-All the inputs that you need (1 HDMI, 1 Component, 1VGA, 1Svideo, 1,Composite).

CONS:
-The back light in the remote control is way to bright.Sometimes it burns eyes.
-No saturation control when using HDMI input.

Other thoughts:
I would recommend using a gray matte surface screen if you’re watching movies.
