[@sureshsureshd6856]

At last u did it....and proved that hard work never fails...

[@CaptainCave-t3n]

Congratulations bro on the 100k you deserve it.😁

[@wayneiceman]

Congratulations on the 100K !!!!

[@justchilling4491]

I like you’re comment nice and short straight to the point unlike the other guy who always has to go to far

[@RobertMartin-hp5we]

Congrats on the 100k. Great unboxing

[@69Muscle]

I bought one a month ago. It's an astounding value and awesome unit. The sound is amazing. My 56 year old ears never heard better sound once I listened to Tidal MQA Masters on my Focal Clears and Sennheiser HD 650S. Incredibly detailed sound.

[@trannel73]

Nice. I'm using HD 660S with TIDAL and looking forward to try them out tomorrow. My Schiit hel is not doing a proper job, after I realised how much better my headphones can sound. :)

[@zloinaopako]

There is an option for fixed volume output. Check the manual for how to switch the variable output to fixed. “While DAC is in standby mode, simultaneously press volume and filter buttons.”

[@TechnoDad]

Ayyyy!!! Thanks foe the tip! I forget to look at manuals these day, lol!

[@craigosterberg5045]

Congratulations on 10k. Thanks for the video review.

[@MrPugheaven]

Congrats on the 100k!!!

[@BibhuduttaM]

I would need your advice in setting up a music at home. My choice is Cambridge DacMagic 200 connected to ONKYO TX NR 6100 . Please suggest speakers supporting ONKYO.

[@SteveSmith-cm1hx]

Congrats Channa on 100K! Well deserved buddy.

[@TechnoDad]

Thank you, Steve!

[@pkamp1969]

Technodad, congratulations with you 100k subscribers. Is it worth integrating this DAC in my system? I have a Marantz SR7015 with a decent internal DAC, and DALI Opticon 5.1 setup.

[@quincycheung5685]

An excellent review from the perspective of users !

[@TechnoDad]

Thank you, Quincy!

[@burghelvasile3313]

I bought Ifi zen one signature. It sounds good, I like it, but it gives me background noise in the speakers. With the amplifier from half to maximum this noise starts to appear. I removed all the sources, the problem is with the power source. I also noticed a boost in the middle area. Do you recommend Cambridge 200m over Ifi zen one signature? Thank you.

[@barrywhite5899]

Anyone know how you can connect this to the Cambridge audio v2 cxn streamer? I want to try out mqa. Can you use this as a separate dac to that streamer? Thank you

[@TracyHardimon]

Channa D! love your channel man! question, I have a similar setup but I'm running a Marantz AV7705 Processor, Oppo Sonica DAC and a Marantz CD player. I just can't seem to get the DAC to work! I have the Coax Cable running thru the DAC to Marantz CD player and the RCA Cables running from DAC to the Marantz Processor into the CD input source. I know that its been 3 years since you displayed this video but I would love to hear back from you man!! By the way, my Marantz CD player has Optical, Coax and Analog In and Out!

[@TechnoDad]

So you have a signal that goes CD Player > DAC > AV7705 ? And you’re not getting sound?

[@NhanLe-hr8sj]

HI. I intend to buy the michi x3 this week. The seller told me that the michi x3 already inluded the dac chip. Why you need to add the dacmagic 200m ? ( I own one for long time and still keep it connect with my NAD C388 ). My self, I am very happy with the dacmagic 200m connect with mac mini m1 and play via Jriver. Thanks for your video

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! You don't need to use the DacMagic 200 with the Michi X3. I was just showing how to connect it up, that's all.

[@NhanLe-hr8sj]

@@TechnoDad many thanks for quick response. Le

[@kozkoz7776]

l too dont own a dac BUT l do have a cyrus cdi cd transport can l hook this to the transport and how is it done ? thanks dad

[@coalregionrider6525]

What is a good one to use with a portable cd player ?

[@junflores7143]

Hi Channa, I am a follower of your channel. I have an Cambridge Audio DVD SACD player. Will this DacMagic 200M decode SACD?

[@TechnoDad]

I don’t think so.

[@constantin85eu]

Hope this one doesn't have the problems with the leds.

[@lyndonramchatesingh105]

Hey techno dad any word on what should I do on d message I send about d Yamaha receiver

[@bubskrz7647]

what is a good compact receiver for a 3.1 speakers?

[@JuiceRabbit]

Great review and channel! I've been using a Dragonfly Red for the last 4 years. Would the DacMagic 200M be a worthwhile upgrade? Do you think the difference would be noticeable? The Dragonfly Red maxes out at 96khz/24bit. I use Qobuz and mostly listen to classical and jazz and use Roon to up-sample 44/16 to 96/24 and I must say there seems to be a *slight* improvement in the sound quality. So I'm thinking the DacMagic would let me up-sample to 192/24 (and higher). Also, Qobuz has a lot of content in 192/24 natively. Has anyone been using a Dragonfly Red and moved to the DacMagic 200M? What are your impressions? Worth it?

[@Gimmesoup88]

I was looking at this earlier today, can't order yet in my country (Denmark)- apparently some parts missing. Available in September, nice to see a video about it :) grats on 100k subs!

[@junior-OG]

[@andrewsantos6794]

hey techno dad this andrew santos what is the best subwoofers cables to buy please help me thank you

[@TechnoDad]

As far as RCA cables go, the SVS ones are decent, but I use Mogami Gold RCAs - amzn.to/2QZQ91F

[@andrewsantos6794]

Thank you techno dad

[@andrewsantos6794]

Hey techno dad dose denon s750h have a 2 subwoofer setup

[@keepingupwiththejones2933]

Something about that 100K subscriber total under your KZbin name makes you seem more handsome, more intelligent, more powerful and wealthier 😅😂

[@keepingupwiththejones2933]

Channa's wife watching this video of him "working" like " Seriously WTF!?!?!" 😂😅😂❤

[@israelescamilla6527]

Topping EX5 MQA vs Cambridge Audio Dacmagic 200M?

[@TechnoDad]

Oooohh...I dunno, they look very similar!

[@eddietours3728]
