DacMagic features
-Adaptive Time Filtering (ATF™) 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 individual’s listening preferences
-Phase select to invert or reinvert input, correcting possible recording problems
-Two inputs with both SPDIF & Toslink sockets allow wide range of digital sources to be connected
-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
-Singled ended phono and XLR balanced audio outputs
-Digital output (SPDIF and Toslink concurrently) passes through selected source for recording purposes
-Substantial aluminium front panel plus an entirely new ultra rigid, acoustically dampened chassis

What's that Mikey? I need a DACmagic like I need a hole in the head! I thought the abbreviations ONO or OBO were pretty common out there..........that's why I said I'll bite.
