The dealer I'm supposed to be borrowing the Magtech from seems utterly chaotic, and I haven't received it yet.
For the purposes of this demo I'm going to go PC via USB into an Audiolab M-DAC. "A lowly M-DAC!", I hear you cry: well, yes, but this is the souped up model, modded by the great John Westlake himself. It's altogether better than the off-the-shelf model.
But if I do decide on the Magtech, I'll want to consider alternatives.
I now have a 200 Companion on loan and am running the full 400 as I type this. The sonic character of the 400 seems a bit more 3-dimensional: more contours, more depth of field, so to speak. The mid-range and bass also seem a bit richer at low volumes. Having said that, it's not a huge difference, and whether it's worth £5K, well ...
