These devices are all about getting true high-fidelity sound from digital sources like computers, streaming music players, smartphones, and more. While these kinds of sources usually have their own digital-to-analog converters built in, you can expect a separate DAC to give you much better accuracy and finer detail. Add more magic to your music Cambridge Audio set the benchmark for sound quality and value when they introduced the original DacMagic digital-to-analog converter. It helped music lovers significantly upgrade the sound from their computers, game consoles, network music players, or any other device with a digital audio output. Now Cambridge has raised the bar even higher with their latest offering, the DacMagic Plus. This impressive new DAC offers more features and flexibility than its predecessor, including a dedicated headphone amp for private listening, upgraded USB input capability, and optional Bluetooth® wireless connectivity. Connect the DacMagic Plus between your music source's digital audio output and your receiver, amp, or powered speakers, and this versatile DAC will bypass the one inside your PC or player — magically transforming those cold hard zeroes and ones into warm, organic sound. You'll immediately experience greater dynamic impact and transparency, with instruments and vocals standing out from each other to occupy their own distinct space. More magic on the inside than ever The DacMagic Plus comes packed with advanced circuitry designed to extract the best possible sound from all your digital sources. Twin Wolfson DACs are used in a dual differential configuration to cancel out noise and distortion while providing excellent stereo imaging. Cambridge's sophisticated Adapted Time Filter 2 technology upsamples all incoming digital audio to a 24-bit/384kHz signal in order to resolve extremely fine detail. The end result is dramatically improved sound from every digital source in your system. Now with the asynchronous USB advantage Standard USB outputs from most computers pose a serious limitation to sound quality. That's because while you're trying to listen to music, your PC is busy performing virus scans, data backup, and other background tasks that may take priority over your tunes, causing it to alter the data rate to suit its own needs. Unfortunately, this situation results in timing errors within the digital data stream — known as "jitter" — that adversely affect sound quality. Jitter can make your music sound harsh and edgy, and smear subtle details. The newly re-designed DacMagic Plus solves this problem by reaching out to your computer through the USB interface, and instructing it to relinquish control of the data stream timing. In its place, this advanced DAC inserts its own separate, or asynchronous, clock to precisely control the timing of the data rate, reducing jitter to the vanishing point. You'll hear a stunning improvement in low-level ambient detail along with a wider, deeper soundstage. Enjoy high-resolution USB audio Along with all the sonic benefits the DacMagic Plus provides for your compressed and CD-quality music files, it also has another trick up its sleeve — it decodes high-resolution data streams with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution through its USB connection, so you can enjoy better-than-CD audio quality. (Free USB driver download required for Windows® PCs.) If you download high-res music files from HDtracks and other audiophile sources, this DAC will ensure that you hear them in all their glory. Other audiophile features Cambridge Audio also included some neat features guaranteed to appeal to audiophiles. A choice of three digital filters lets you tweak and fine-tune the sound to match your system and room. The DacMagic Plus lets you experiment with different filter settings for each source, always remembering the last setting assigned to each one. A phase inversion switch lets you correct for out-of-phase recordings or amplifiers that invert phase. Cambridge even included an incoming sample rate indicator which shows the original source quality. The DacMagic Plus offers multiple digital inputs for all of your sound sources plus RCA and pro-quality XLR outputs. Plenty of connections for your gear DacMagic Plus lets you connect multiple digital source components to your home audio or desktop system: two coaxial digital inputs: ideal for connecting a CD or DVD player, Logitech Squeezebox™ Touch, Sonos® Connect, or any other digital audio component with coax out, and taking advantage of the DacMagic Plus's high-performance processor for better sound. two optical digital inputs: ready to take on almost any HDTV, set-top box, game console, or other digital sources with optical digital output, and feed a high-quality audio signal into your stereo system. Type B USB jack feeds digital audio from your computer into the DacMagic Plus's onboard digital-to-analog converter, bypassing your computer's sound card to yield much clearer sound with stored music files and Internet radio. A pair of gold-plated RCA outputs lets you connect the DacMagic Plus to your home audio system's receiver or integrated amp. Or feed a set of powered speakers for a high-end, compact desktop stereo. The built-in volume control even lets you connect a power amp directly, using the DacMagic Plus as a preamp. Cambridge Audio also included a pair of balanced XLR outputs for an even higher-quality hookup with compatible audio components. A full-size headphone jack lets you take advantage of the DAC's built-in headphone amp for private listening. Optical and coaxial digital outputs allow you to bypass the DacMagic Plus when you're playing surround sound from a Blu-ray or DVD player, so you don't have to change cable connections when you switch from music to movies. Use the BT100 Bluetooth audio adapter for wireless digital transmission to the DacMagicPlus. High-quality sound with wireless convenience You can also go cable-free with Cambridge Audio's optional plug-and-play BT100 Bluetooth® wireless audio receiver. This receiver lets you stream music wirelessly from your iPhone®, Android™ smartphone, iPad®, tablet, laptop or any device that supports Bluetooth audio. Best of all, if your smartphone, tablet, or computer supports high-end CSR aptX® Bluetooth audio, you can stream near CD-quality music from your device to the DacMagic Plus.

Features Controls Connections Specifications Dimensions Features Overview: The Cambridge Audio Azur DacMagic Plus is a high-quality up-sampling digital-to-analog converter. The DacMagic Plus features a range of components to enhance your music listening experience - these include a 32-bit Analog Devices 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. The Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus can effectively upgrade the audio from your computer, your network music devices, game consoles, or standard CD/DVD player to truly high-end, audiophile-quality sound. Dual Wolfson DACs: The Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus employs two very high-quality Wolfson WM8740 24-bit DAC ICs in dual-differential mode for excellent stereo imaging. Since each channel has its own DAC to process information, completely separate and symmetrical analog filter circuitry can be implemented. This implementation allows both the left- and right-channel circuitry to operate identically, ensuring the DacMagic Plus delivers fantastic sound-staging and stereo-imaging properties. Dual Differential Virtual Earth Balanced Filter Topology: The DacMagic Plus uses Cambridge Audio's proprietary Dual Differential Virtual Earth Balanced filter topology, configured as a low-order two-pole liner-phase Bessel filter, in order to take advantage of the achieved high-sampling rate. As a result your music will have extreme linearity with greater dynamic range. 32-bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor): A 32-bit Analog Devices ADSP2161 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) eradicates jitter, a problem which blurs the timing information of reproduced audio signals resulting in degraded audio quality. The DacMagic Plus intrinsically re-clocks all the audio data - removing jitter, noise, and distortion in the process, so your music sounds full and realistic. This is especially effective when listening to music stored on your computer or media player. ATF2 (Adaptive Time Filtering): The Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus utilizes an asynchronous up-sampling process called "Adaptive Time Filtering 2nd Generation" that intelligently interpolates (converts) incoming audio data from 16-24 bits (at any standard sampling frequency between 32-96kHz) to 24-bit/384kHz for dramatically improved musical reproduction. ATF2 will enhance the audio clarity, richness, and dynamic range of your compressed music. Aluminum Front-Panel: The DacMagic Plus employs a substantial aluminum front-panel, plus an ultra-rigid, acoustically dampened chassis to prevent audio distortion caused by vibration. Horizontal or Vertical Placement: The DacMagic Plus can be placed in two different positions (horizontal or vertical). It can be placed horizontally by fitting the four small self-adhesive rubber feet to the bottom of the unit, or vertically by using the large rubber base. Controls Phase Filter Select: The DacMagic Plus's 32-bit DSP employs Cambridge Audio's own proprietary digital filter algorithms with three different filter options available - Linear Phase, Minimum Phase, and Steep. Controlled from one switch on the front-panel, they are extremely clever audiophile topologies specifically developed for audio playback and all offer excellent sound quality, but differ slightly to appeal to a wide range of listening tastes. Linear Phase Filter: The Linear Phase Filter is the same as used in Cambridge Audio's flagship Azur 840C upsampling CD player. It uniquely features 'constant group delay' which delays all audio signals at all frequencies by the same amount - meaning all audio is fully time-coherent at the output. Minimum Phase Filter: The Minimum Phase Filter does not feature constant group delay, but rather has been optimized without feed-forward so that the impulse response exhibits no pre-ringing in the time domain. Many audiophiles have argued that the pre-ringing, as seen in nearly all digital filter designs, may affect the transient attack of percussive instruments. Minimum phase implementation eliminates this and is a technology only seen previously in some extremely high-end CD playback systems Steep Filter: The steep filter removes undistinguishable artifacts via re-calibration for a very slight roll-off at 20kHz, but an ultra-steep drop to the stop-band just after 20kHz. Note: These three filters are all of the highest quality, but offer subtle differences for the user to enjoy. The type of filter chosen is remembered for each input individually, so that it is possible to use one for PC playback (via USB) and another for CD playback (via SPDIF). Digital Preamp Mode: The Digital Preamp Mode is used to connect the DacMagic directly to a separate power amplifier or active speakers. The DacMagic Plus is supplied as default with Digital Preamp mode enabled. In this mode, the output from the Unbalanced and Balanced audio outputs is controlled by the front panel Volume control. If you wish to disable this mode (and have fixed line-level level output from the Unbalanced and Balanced Audio outputs) switch the DacMagic Plus off, then push and hold the Volume control in while switching the DacMagic Plus on. Ground/Lift Switch: When Grounded, the DacMagic Plus is connected to the earth connection of the PC directly. When Lifted the ground connection is made via a network designed to break any hum loops that may be caused by the source equipment. The Grounded setting is recommended, unless audible hum is experienced Connections USB Port: A rear-panel 24-bit/192kHz USB (type-B) port enables the DacMagic Plus to be connected to your Windows PC or Mac computer. The DacMagic Plus will act as a very high-quality DAC/sound-card with very low jitter for your computer, offering genuine Hi-Fi-quality playback from your stored music and Internet radio. The DacMagic Plus is both USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) and USB 1.1 (Full-speed) USB port compatible. It will also work with the new USB 3.0 ports where the PC will simply treat the DacMagic Plus as if it were a USB 2.0 or 1.1 device. PC Compatible: With the DacMagic Plus switched to USB Audio 1.0 (this is the default setting), the DacMagic Plus will work with the native Windows XP, Vista or 7 Audio 1.0 driver (no need to load any new driver) and accept audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. With the DacMagic Plus switched to USB Audio 2.0, the DacMagic Plus needs the Cambridge Audio USB Audio 2.0 Driver to be loaded and can then accept up to 24-bit/192kHz (and support ASIO and WASAPI Exclusive if required). Mac Compatible: No extra drivers are required to connect your Mac computer. With the DacMagic Plus switched to USB Audio 1.1, the DacMagic Plus will work with the native Mac OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) or above Audio 1.0 driver and accept audio up to 24/96kHz. With the DacMagic Plus switched to USB Audio 2.0 the DacMagic Plus works with the native Mac OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) or above Audio 2.0 driver and can accept audio up to 24/192kHz. Digital Inputs: The DacMagic Plus is fitted with two rear-panel 24-bit digital inputs. Each digital input consists of an optical and coaxial digital connection. The optical and coaxial digital input allow a wide range of digital source (CD, DVD, Game Console, etc.) to be connected to the DacMagic Plus. Note: Only one of the two types (optical/coaxial) of each digital input should be connected at any one time. If both the optical and coaxial inputs have connections made to them, neither will work. This unit only decodes two-channel LPCM digital audio (Dolby Digital 2.0). If you connect a DVD or similar device, please ensure that the audio output of the player is set to two-channel PCM. Digital Output: A rear-panel digital output (optical/coaxial) allows pass-through of the selected digital source for recording purposes (no up-sampling performed). These outputs loop or pass-through unprocessed digital audio from the selected digital input. Note: Both the optical and coaxial digital outputs are always active and can be used to connect and run equipment at the same time. A 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS signal can be passed through the unit's digital outputs. The 5.1ch signal is not decoded or processed (only pass-through). Balanced & Unbalanced Outputs: The Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus features both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) audio outputs to connect to a wide variety of home stereo receivers and amplifiers. Unbalanced: The DacMagic Plus features an unbalanced stereo analog RCA audio output for connecting your stereo receiver or amplifier. Balanced: The DacMagic Plus features true balanced XLR analog audio outputs to connect high-end home receivers and amplifiers. XLR is a higher-quality output that can reject noise and interference with equipment with balanced inputs. Note: It is possible to use the unbalanced stereo RCA output and the balanced XLR outputs at the same time for connecting two different amplifiers or multi-room operation. The analog audio outputs are muted, if the DacMagic Plus receives a 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS signal. Headphone Output: The DacMagic Plus' front-panel headphone output (1/4") allows for personal listening from your set of high quality headphones. When headphones are connected, the headphone volume can be adjusted using the volume knob. This is always independent of the level of the balanced or unbalanced audio outputs. Bluetooth Ready: Simply plug in the optional Cambridge Audio BT100 Bluetooth Audio Receiver (779BT100, sold separately) into the DacMagic Plus' rear-panel USB (type-A) port for wireless music streaming from many of today's most popular Bluetooth supporting devices; such as iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone, Android tablet, and Mac or Windows PC. The BT100 even supports the high-quality Bluetooth aptX CODEC, so you can stream audiophile quality music from your Bluetooth-enabled source device to the DacMagic Plus. Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the DacMagic Plus. Power Requirements: The Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus operates off of standard household AC current, using the supplied AC power adapter. The external power adapter is separate from the digital-analog-converter to further improve sound quality. Input: 100-240V~50/60Hz, 0.55A Output: 12V - 2A Note: The supplied AC power adapter includes AC power plug inserts for North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Ralph Graves Staff Writer - Creative, Finely tuned sound for finely tuned ears Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 4/16/2012 11:04:00 AM I had a chance to try the DacMagic Plus out in our Labs with some different speaker and headphone options (as well as a variety of sound sources). If you're the type of person who prefers uncompressed audio files to lossy formats, then the higher level of performance that the DacMagic Plus offers is probably for you. The DacMagic Plus gave me some control over the incoming signal. I could change the phase, as well as select the filters, for example. And the unit displayed the sampling rate (which can be good to know). Control is great, but results are better - and they were results I could hear. I deliberately played some 128kbps MP3s, and they didn't sound too bad. But it was the high-resolution audio tracks that the DacMagic was made for. I listened to some HD Tracks, some WAV files, and some Apple Lossless tracks, and heard an extraordinary amount of detail in all three. Plus, the sound didn't seem to have any of the slight digital harshness that I often perceive when I listen to my digital music library.

Written By Keith M, Orlando, FL on Friday, September 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the DacMagic Plus after much research about adding a DAC to improve the sound quality of my Sonos Connect. I have an Onkyo TX-NR-818 amp with Klipsch reference series tower dual 8" speakers. I had been using a pair of Sony CDP-CX355, 300 disc CD players connected to the amp via analog. (Must use analog, Onkyo doesn't support digital connection on Zone 2.) The sound was great. Later added Sonos system to the house. I ripped my CD's into iTunes using lossless setting. I connected a Sonos Connect to my amps digital input. It sounded "muddy". I could never get the clarity that I had when the CD players were connected to the amp. I switched from the digital input on the amp (using the internal Onkyo DAC) to the analog inputs (using the Sonos DAC). No difference, still "muddy". Now I have the DacMagic Plus after the Sonos Connect, using coaxial digital input (Coaxial input handles up to 192k data rate, while the optical input only handles up to 92k.) Of course Sonos can only output a 44k data rate from either port. I understand that the data rate 2x rule says that a 44k rate will still produce a perfect sinewave at 22khz. That is higher than I can hear. I am not using the pre-amp function in the DacMagic. I was told the DacMagic Plus may only make a small difference, if at all. Wow is all I can say. No kidding, it is a night and day difference. Superb clarity and depth to the sound. You can now pick out each instrument. It also spread out the sound stage. Awesome Sound! Pros: Amazing sound processing. High quality DAC. Cons: None. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: Great audio Cons: Knob is difficult to turn 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent product I love it Written By erniecolorado1, Aurora, CO on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 The purpose of a DAC in the first place is to bypass the sound card or chip on your motherboard and get much higher quality sound. And you should ALWAYS use the optical (Toslink) digital output on the DAC to your motherboard rear optical digital output connection to get the 192 KHz DAC conversion and higher quality sound. The USB connection will only give you 96 KHz maximum. And use a decent cable as well for that connection. I hooked up JBL studio monitors to the preferred XLR connections and was blown away by movies and music even though it is not 5.1 surround sound, It was many times better than what I had with the motherboard sound. To those who say it will not make MP3 files better, that is generally true. First of all, MP3 is the oldest music file compression, and has been beaten by AAC and the WMA formats. Windows Media Audio sound, even on paper, is better than AAC, used by Apple iTunes and Divx, neither of which I ever buy or use. I love Xbox Music and still use the Microsoft Zune as well for the 10 dollar a month unlimited music transfers, although you can also stream the music for free from the cloud as well. Windows 8.1 (64-bit) is a much better operating system than the Apple computer's operating system. And more universal for many things to. You will not be disappointed with this DAC! It is awesome! Pros: Pure, pristine and robust sound. Good XLR and optical digital connections. High quality! Cons: Nothing I can see or hear. 2 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Dac magic plus Written By AlanD, Huntington Beach, Ca on Sunday, May 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After working with some engineers recently I was shown the difference between hi-res music and standard MP3 downloads. I was blown away by the difference. That said I have just embarked on a quest to upgrade my audio components to deliver a better listening experience. The first purchase in this endeavor is the Cambridge Audio Dacmagic plus. Out of the box the component has the quality feel and substance that gives one the feeling of joining the audiophile elite. Connecting to my computer was so simple and was working in no time at all. At this stage I am using headphones only, however, the difference is amazing. I am now shopping music sites to build a library of hi-res tracks. Crutchfield is such an impressive company as within a short time of making my purchase online I was called by the digital audio specialist offering any assistance if I needed it. Try finding a knowledgeable assistant at the big box stores much less this level of service. Pros: Tactile quality, improved audio, Crutchfield service and support (priceless). Cons: A little pricey-but that's the price of membership! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Paired with a computer,Cambridge Audios' Dac Magic plus will breath new life into formally flat, lifeless audio files. If your looking for a compact, capable unit to convert your digital music, (ones and zeros), into something more "musical", this is it! I am using it as a preamp between my Mac mini,(via usb) and a separate amplifier to power a whole house audio system.

Written By JP, Cincinnati on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm an audio engineer and I have this hooked up to my DAW via USB, no drivers installed. I'm currently using it as a monitor controller, too, while I shop for a new one. It sounds fantastic as a good DAC should. The only thing I'm really leery about is I don't understand how its audio pot works. In short, I'm afraid that it's throwing away bits as I turn the volume down. To mitigate this, I've calibrated the output so it's at normal mixing level when maxed out. If you're going to be using it in conjunction with a separate monitor controller, this won't matter. Pros: It's a super-high-quality class-compliant (no drivers) USB Sound Card. Sensing headphone jack has separate volume level (set via same volume pot). Cons: The following prevent it from being truly "professional:" No VU meters, no dim, no stepped knob, no reference points on the volume knob for setting different mixing levels. BUT, this is what a professional monitor controller is for. The only thing I wish it had was separate control for the headphone jack/speaker muting instead of being auto-sensing as I prefer to leave my headphones plugged-in all the time. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Converts bits to pulses Written By Justin-NYC, Stamford CT on Friday, December 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This device is generally highly rated by people who are probably more informed than me. In my experience, it is easy to setup and easy to use. It is a little unclear why certain settings are specified in the manual for setup with a Mac (for example, the MIDI audio settings) and the explanations I received from Cambridge through their Q&A forum were initially thin but eventually were more adequate when I pushed. btw, Cambridge Audio's registration site conveys login credentials (username and password) in-the-clear through email back to the user, which is a big security no-no. While this is not necessarily product related, I thought to include it here because to my knowledge this practice has not been corrected. Anyway, back to the product, overall I am satisfied with the quality of the product. As to the audio, I believe it is superior to both the internal DAC on my Mac and the external DAC inside my Yamaha amplifier which is powering a pair of Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers. I have done very unscientific AB testing and believe I hear a difference. Ken Rockwell (you can google his review), who has done far more scientific comparison, says this DAC is better than the much more expensive studio reference DAC. My Crutchfield advisor said I'm getting a "Ferrari" compared to the still very good quality DAC in my Yamaha. I kept the product and use it whenever I want to listen to music at the best possibly quality. Pros: good looking, simple and effective; easily sets up with a Mac Cons: some people done like the digital volume control but I have that disabled so it doesn't matter to me.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great, but needs more bass Written By West, Knoxville, TN on Monday, December 09, 2013 In reality it is between 4/5 stars. Really great high range and mid range response. Bass is great, really clean but relative to the mid range response the bass level is low. May require some additional tuning to get a stronger bass response. I use two full range towers in my setup, both have 8 inch woofers which put out plenty of bass on most sources. This DAC is brings the mids and highs alive, the bass is there and very detailed, but should be stronger. Pros: Awesome flexibility Great detailed sound Can help average speakers and average sources (having digital output) sound their best Output is not dry or sterile; very vibrant overall Cons: Needs more bass... Is a bit large for a DAC Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 I'm keeping it! Written By SeanL, Auburn, KY on Thursday, June 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I guess "the chase" is on. This is was next on my list to improve the overall sound quality coming from my HTPC to my system. I was using an internal sound card with DACS, but it seemed like something was not right.. as my Oppo 95 would deliver better sound than the PC. But not anymore... all my digital media (especially 320kps or higher) sounds fantastic. Using the USB connect...all the digital harshness is gone and no choppiness at all. Cambridge recommends that you use a ASIO Driver that overrides the Microsoft sound processing. Don't use the Foobar Asio Driver that Cambridge recommends (loaded with spywear)... but there is a few free ones available. I am using one from Fender (Universal Driver). The DacMagic has met my expectations. Crutchfield has always been courteous... they called me after my online order just to verify my needs and consult me into buying a higher performance USB cable (which I bought, but probably didn't need). Give the unit a try... I doubt you'll send it back. Pros: Easy install, clean sound, Cons: iPad/iPod support is NOT standard. Additional accessories are required. Takes time finding ASIO drivers. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good, if used correctly Written By Anonymous, Fresno, CA on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I want to start by saying that this review ONLY applies to the use of this DAC with a stand alone internet radio. If you intend to use this DAC with high quality digital music - not Mp3 music - then ignore this review. Most everyone who use this DAC correctly are more then happy with it. I have an internet radio that has 10 presets, one button to push, numbers 1-10. My vision problem makes this a must and everything else is secondary to me. Having said this I will continue by explaining I was hopeful this Cambridge DAC Magic Plus might somewhat improve the quality of the Mp3 music I listen to on my internet radio. But, it did not. And that's ok because I knew this might turn out to be so. I gave the DAC over 60 hours of break in time, tried the different settings, and tried many stations that sound very good even though being Mp3's. Just was no improvement. Not worse, but not better. I then called directly to Cambridge and explained exactly how I was using the DAC and what the results were. And he explained that with Mp3's I would not hear any improvements because the DAC just does not have anything to work with from the lower quality of Mp3's. Case closed, won't work for my needs. But again I have to say that with all this DAC has within it, surely it will work for you. Bottom line, if your trying to improve your internet radio sound, look for better speakers. 6 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Perfect for my application Written By srr2, Lehigh Valley, PA on Saturday, April 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'll eschew the "silky bass", "creamy midrange", and "deep well-placed soundstage" kind of reviewer-drivel. To be honest, far as I'm concerned a cable is a cable, etc. I'm no "audiophile" and proud of it. I own gear to listen to music, not to listen to gear. So okay, what about the DMP, then. For my purposes -- listening to music -- it's perfect. To put it simply, it's just not *there*. What you hear is pretty close to what the audio engineer intended, within the limits of tapes, digitizing, decoding and your amps/speakers. It's not going to make a silk sow out of an ear purse, but then, it's not going to degrade your carefully-ripped flac files either. I should highlight the attributes that steered me to the DMP: 1) it has floating differential (XLR) outputs, 2) optical inputs, and 3) a volume control. Many competing DACs have neither. The reason for #3 is because with WASAPI or ASIO there's no volume control in the computer, and because the output of the DMP goes directly to the amps, there's no preamp either. The reason for #1 is because of the long run (35') between source and destination, and the electrically noisy environment in my home, which #2 further serves to mitigate. Connected properly, the DMP floats optically with respect to the computer, so there's 0 possibility for any circulating noise currents in signal or ground. The upshot -- the entire audio system is DEAD QUIET. You can literally not discern a difference between OFF and ON. Pros: Two sp/dif optical inputs. Fully floating differential outputs. Volume knob (whose rotation v. output level seems appropriate to me) w/push-to-mute. Reducing volume has no discernible effect on quality of signal. Attractive design. Useful and unobtrusive annunciator lights. Dead silence when not playing anything. Excellent immunity to power line noise. Cons: 1) That stupid WALL-WART power supply. If CA screwed up one thing, it's this horrible, cheap, likely unreliable power supply, with its exceedingly flaky "universal" plug adapter. I HATE wall warts. At this price point, and for what this equipment costs, it should have had a proper internal power supply and conventional robust line cord. (and no, I do NOT want to spend $2000 on a line cord to connect the wall-wart to deepen the soundstage) 2) Poor sp/dif support compared to USB. 7 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 It Works Like Magic Written By Danny B, Detroit, MI on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If your a music lover, there is no denying the ease of use that a media player can bring to a music collection, and if your like me, you've made the leap to hooking up your PC to your stereo system. Now there's only one problem with his set up. The audio coming out of your PC isn't quite the fidelity you may be used to. That's what makes a DAC a must. Chances are you already know this, so I'll cut rite to the chase. I was going to replace the sound card in my PC for improved audio when I came across these DAC's. I liked the fact that they were half PC card/half audio component so there's no fooling around with the back of my computer. So I did my research and it came down to this one for two reasons: One, its made by a reputable audio company and two, its exterior is metal and not all plasticky like some of the other DAC's. Having said all that, here's the meat and potatoes of it; this thing ROCKS! Everything now sounds crystal clear. It was expensive, yes, and this being my first DAC I can't coment on how the other, lower cost DAC's sound, but if they're even half as good as this they would be worth it. One thing I should mention, the set up process for the software settings and plug-ins and so forth are a bit tricky. But if enjoy this type of challenge and aren't prone to pulling your hair out over it, it will be a thrilling exercise. Just remember to read everything, try every setting, and restart your computer if something doesn't seem to be working. Pros: Solid construction. Cons: Tricky to set up at first. No remote control. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I purchased the Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus from Crutchfield and have been very pleased with the sound quality output, as it greatly enhances content played through it. I subsequently purchased the Bluetooth BT100 unit from a local dealer in Austin and it was very easy to connect and pair with various Bluetooth enabled devices such as my iPad, iPhone, iMac. The unit did identify a problem with the DacMagic itself, as all content played through the Bluetooth unit, will only output through the headphone port. All content input through USB and Audio, works fine through either output, but the Bluetooth is a problem. When I contacted support at Cambridge, I was not very pleased with their recommendations to disconnect both devices and go to my dealer to further troubleshoot them. Obviously, I cannot come to Crutchfield and Austin is 90 miles away. My Austin dealer (Audio Systems) is a great friend, and he suggested I ship the units to him for testing. I am convinced the problem is with the DacMagic, and feel Cambridge is giving me the run-around, which shouldn't be the case with a unit of this price. I am a Wealth Advisor, and must deliver exceptional customer service, which I do not believe I have received from Cambridge. I am certainly reluctant to recommend this unit, based on this experience. Pros: Great sound Cons: Very poor Customer Service/relations from Cambridge on a defective unit 12 out of 27 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Cambridge DAC Magic Plus Written By Bill S, Pueblo, CO on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had the original Dac Magic for the past three years. When I got the new product, I hooked it up, right out of the box. Listening to both side by side, I heard a great sound from the old one but was impressed by the greater detail, staging, depth, and crispness of the sound from the new unit. I was very impressed with Cambridge before but I'm blown away with this new unit. Several friends and I have more expensive DAC's but this one will keep up with $2000.00 units easily. Pros: 24/384 output, headphone amp built in, will take up to 24/192 through usb or spdif. It has three different filters like old unit. Cons: Would like defeatable upsampling, and filters, 41 out of 44 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

IRDA is publishing a resume of its top 15 most significant accomplishments to date.
Josée Boisclair, Entomologist at IRDA, wrote a chapter of this book in collaboration with co-authors Gilles Boiteau and Tom Lowery of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
These videos were created to assist producers in detecting and controling apple pests.
Richard Hogue, researcher at IRDA, was awarded the Méritas Parmentier 2014.
IRDA was created in 1998 to ensure that Québec's agriculture and agri-food sector grew while caring for the environment.
The third edition of Québec seeks solutions was held on November 6 in Québec city. An IRDA team was present to test the ideas and hypotheses of the issues raised by companies. Three editions ago, the event had lead to a new project between five partners to develop a recycled paper mulch.

I started the plant based diet in July. I have followed the diet about 98% of the time. I don't use vegan convenience foods and try to stay lowfat. I will admit that since our garden ended, I lean more towards whole grains, pasta and fruit than green veg but do eat more greens than I used to. I had my lipid profile drawn the week before Thanksgiving. The last time I had it tested was a year ago. My total chol went up from 212 to 227, LDL from 151 to 166, trig from 107 to 125 and HDL down from 40 to 36. My blood pressure is better and I lost around 6-10 lbs which puts me at the high end of normal BMI. I'm pretty discouraged because I really expected great results. Any ideas? I really believe this is the most healthful way to eat but need to get my lab results to improve.
I can totally understand. I went vegan in Jan and my cholesterol dropped from 273 to 210 in March and then 190 in May. After that it shot back up to 270. Does anyone know what causes this? For one 6-week period, I ate nothing other than what was in the Forks over Knives cookbook and my cholesterol was even higher. Maybe we can get help together.
Wild changes in cholesterol within a short time may be an error. Check the trends or get rechecked when you are suspicious. As for how to get cholesterol numbers moving in the right direction, the best you can do is stick to the program 100% and REALLY look at the fat intake. No oils and avoid whole fatty plant foods.
If you are following it 100% before getting checked, and the lipids are not moving in the right direction, you may be one of those few people who can not overcome a genetic predisposition.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
If I am genetically predisposed and diet just won't do it, are there options other than drugs? My mother had her first heart attack at 66, I'm 62 now so would like to get a handle on this.

Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra dollars for a thinner, lighter XPS.
Bought the machine new in Feb 2010 with
Intel Core i5 520m
ATI (now AMD) 5470
1080p panel
4GB Ram
9 cell battery
500GB 7200 RPM drive
backlit keyboard to round it out.
Intel Cetrino wireless N card
First off Dell Service is excellent. This is what keeps me with them.
I received laptop and within 2 weeks Dell was at my house to replace the mainboard due to freezing intermittently when checking the DVD drive during POST. Since then machine has been flawless in running ouside of cosmestic issues.
The battery (9 cell) still lsats for 5 hours when using it to do yahoo chat and web browsi ng over wifi.
The 1080p display is awesome to say the least and hides the smudges when in use.
1. Reliable after first repair
2. Keyboard
3. Sound for a laptop
4. Easy access to ram and hdd and card slots
5. hinges are very well built and show no signs of wear
6. Beyboard and palm rest have aged gracefully
Quality of chassis construction that has resulted in the following:
1. Cheap plastic housing at the hinge points. I Have actually covered mine up with black electrical tape to hold them together as they no longer lock tight.
2. Over time the adhesive has come out from the rubber pad around the screen making them look nasty. I took them off and cleaned the adhesive off and put new adhesive on.
3. Due to chassis not being rigid like the other business machines (precision, lattitude, vostro), the screen has some marks on it from the keyboard
Now that the machine is being replaced with a Vostro 3450, it will be delegated to HTPC duty in my bedroom.
Up until now, the machine has been carreied every day that I work in a backpack and during the summer I ride on 2 wheels.

- Pretty nice layout
- Semi-Decent performance for the age and price
- 2 Headphone jacks
- Windows 7 (I'd consider this a plus, personally. Windows 8 is a little buggy right now)
- Facial recognition software. It's pretty neat to have access to and can help speed up login.
- Battery life is alright.
- Laptop speakers are surprisingly good for a laptop.
- SD/Media Card reader. Super useful for getting those pictures and such off of your phone or iPod
- Gets pretty warm pretty easily
- No number pad
Overall, this is a pretty decent laptop. It was a nice laptop to have to hold me over for a few semesters of school while I saved for another one. I was able to enjoy the SD/Media Card reader more than I thought. Being able to pull pictures off of my phone was handy. This is a pretty good laptop for a college student that plans on using it for homework.
I bought this product it in 2010. Been in for service once after about a year due to a failed DVD drive. Repairs were done very fast (5 days) and very happy with the service done under waranty. I paid a few dollars for another 2 year service program. No need to use it till now, 2013. The adapter is not charging the battery at all. I called for service but unfortunatly was told that the battery and adapter are not covered and Dell recommends that both the battery and adapter be replaced every 12 months. It's a very nice computer but it will cost an additional $180 every 12 months to keep it running so the long term cost of this Studio 1555 laptop is kinda high.
I would recommend this product for anyone starting college!!
This is my first Dell laptop that i have purchases and to be honest, i didnt know what to expect.
There were a fair amount of bad reviews for them. Since purchasing this item i have been practically glued to it and very pleased with its performance! Its a nippy wee machine. It gets used daily for multiple tasks, be it small word documents for my college course, internet searching or even watching movies on it. The high def screen and the back lit keyboard are also fantastic features. having to type in the dark is annoying so i dont think ill be buying another laptop without this feature!
Windows 7 runs smoothly on this machine so its easy to get the hang of the OS very quickly.
What this machine has going for it is:
it has a fast processor, a fairly large hard drive, a decent battery life (useful for taking it to college if i forget the charger), its amazingly beautiful screen and backlit keyboard ;D, its quiet which can be handy if working late at night...
The downfalls to this machine are minimal but they are as follows...
The shell its flimsy and feels like i could break it if i dropped it...its also very prone to being a police finger print pad...
minimal but can be annoying if you have a clean OCD like myself...
apart from this, this machine is almost perfect fro college and or uni courses :D
The slot-loading drive takes a bit getting used to, at first I was trying to be gentle and place the disc in but you have to push it in or it will force the disc out by itself. This is an outstanding value, don't let people in the forums fool you, the ATI Mobility 3450 is a fantastic card it can play all the COD Video Games in high quality settings very well. Do not buy this computer if you are a speaker type , because they are the worst, really. As for looks this thing will rival a Macbook pro maybe even might beat out it by a little. Overall its a good handy dandy computer if your a gamer and streamer.
The Dell Studio is a great all round laptop. With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, it is a fast operating system. The Dell studio comes with the latest software package. The great thing about the Dell is that it is compatible with anything. Unlike an Apple Mac where you may have to purchase alternative software to even run microsoft word, the Dell Studio has everything you need.
It has an easy-on-the-eye desktop view, with simple access to shortcuts and a shortcut tab.
this laptop is a reasonable size and isnt particularly heavy, so it is easy to carry around, and it is the standard laptop size so it is also easy to buy laptop bags or cases for it.
The Dell studio comes in a variety of different colours which makes it fun and personal! I have a navy blue one which looks pretty slick! But they come in all sorts of colours to suit your taste!
It is a reliable laptop however many people find that Dell support is inadequate. Dell laptops have been known to stop working after a certain amount of time, and the support is timely. You have to send it off and wait for it to be repaired, thats if your warranty is still in tact!
With all my reviews on computers and computer accessories, I've only just realised that I haven't actually reviewed the main laptop on which I spend the majority of my time! I guess that I've had this laptop so long that I've just taken it for granted.
I purchased this laptop around 3 years ago after my previous Dell was starting to look and feel a bit dated. This is my third Dell and I have to say that I have always been reasonably impressed with the laptop I've purchased from them. In fact, the first Dell laptop that I purchased several years ago is still going strong and is still being regularly used by my sister! In terms of reliability, I haven't suffered any major problems with the laptops.
I originally purchased a laptop from the Dell Studio range for two main reasons. Firstly, the spec of the laptop was just what I was looking for - a good Dual-core processor, lots of RAM, a good (non-integrated) graphics card and lots of various ports for me to plug my various devices into. The Studio range comes a few different sizes, but I plumped for the 15 inch version as realistically a 17 inch screen is too big and bulky for transporting around, especially if you're taking it on holidays.
The second reason that I purchased the Studio was down to the design of the laptop itself. In all honesty, most laptop manufacturers (with the exception of Apple) tend to produce rather grey and boring laptops. This Dell was something a little different and the form integrated nicely with the function of the laptop. For instance, The hinge mechanism is quite ingenious and gives the laptop a much smaller footprint when the lid is opened.
I purchased directly from Dell themselves, and was offered a plethora of options when creating my laptop specification. Thankfully, the base model that I picked had all the equipment and features that I required, so I didn't need to pick any of Dell's optional extras/upgrades. If you do decide to choose a few optional extras, be prepared for the price to increase considerably. The laptop that I ordered ended up costing around £400 by the time I had finished, but apparently, they can cost as much as £1,800 if you were to choose all of Dell's optional extras.
To give you a quick run-down of the system I ordered: It included a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive and a 512MB ATI HD Graphics Card. All-in-all, this gives the laptop a pretty good level of performance (although compared to todays latest Ivy Bridge powered laptops - it probably feels like a dinosaur!)
The laptop has coped with pretty much everything that I've thrown at it - including intensive work on Photoshop, high-demand computer games and multi-tasking several tasks at once. As long as you can keep the laptop cool enough and allow enough hot air to escape out of the laptop, it should maintain this performance also. If the laptop does start to overheat a little, you will notice a bit of lag now and again, but nothing that prevents you from using the computer as normal. After 3 years of use, the laptop does tend to heat up a lot quicker nowadays (probably due to the amount of dust that has accumulated inside the laptop!)
As far as I know, ever Dell Studio features the same ports on the chassis of the laptop. On the left hand side there is: HDMI and VGA for video, a Gigabit Ethernet port, an eSATA/USB combo port, a dedicated USB port, mini-FireWire and three audio ports for headphones and microphones.
On the right hand side is a 34mm ExpressCard slot, a multi-format card reader - one further USB port and the power input. Just above the power input is a small white LED to show when the system is charging, which unusually is the only activity light on the machine bar the backlit power button on the hinge.
After 3 years of use.... it hasn't all been plain sailing. Firstly, after about 2 years, my battery was next to worthless and a replacement had to be ordered. It's not a big deal as that's actually what you'd expect from most laptop batteries - expect to pay around £40 for a genuine Dell replacement. The original mains charger that came with the laptop broke after about a year and a half - and a replacement will cost around £20.
Battery life is good on a fresh battery and you can expect a few hours of reasonable use on each charge.
The worst problem, however, was the lid and hinge mechanism of the laptop. After about 2 years, the plastic around the hinge mechanism started to crack and come away from the laptop. I put up with this unsightly inconvenience for a while, but the problem soon spread and cracks started to appear on the lid itself. Again, I put up with this until eventually the laptop lid was starting to come away altogher! I didn't really want to replace the entire laptop because of some cracked plastic - especially as the laptop was still performing very well. I researched my options and soon discovered that you could buy a replacement lid and hinge mechanism. I purchased the new lid and hinge for around £50 and using the detailed, but excellent, instructions on the Dell support website, I fitted a new lid and hinge! Hopefully this should prolong the life of the laptop for another few years as I have no requirements for a new one at the minute!
All-in-all, a reliable laptop which is still going strong after 3 years of heavy usage. Replacement parts should hopefully allow me to keep this machine going for another few years!
I use my laptop every day and i am a user that knows only what an average person would know about computers.
First off I like the placing of the keypad so you dont have to hit ctrl first to turn sound off and on as well as play and pause.
I got the light up keypad feature which I highly recommend. It looks gorgeous.
The battery of my laptop lasts for about 4-5 hours and the AC adapter cable is really long so I don't have to sit at the outlet. I love that the DVD/CD port is like a MAC so I dont have to open or close it.
I also like to listen to music and the sound is great, its hard to explain but it sounds sharp and crisp like a movie theater. The screen is gorgeous and the brightness is perfect.
Overall you can tell that they integrated a lot of MAC ideas in this computer. The overall user interface feels and looks a lot more like a Macbook. I an completely satisfied with the Dell Studio.
I've had my Studio 1537 for nearly 3 years now, replacing a previous Dell that was stolen.
I picked it up at a discounted price through the Dell Outlet store with Windows Vista basic, but I have since upgraded to Vista Home Premium and then Windows 7. Comes with a lot of the usual Dell cr4pware.
Performance wise it is fine, 4GB memory (make sure you install 64bit windows to take full advantage), a decent Centrino processor (6MB L2 Cache) and a 5400RPM 320GB hard drive, bluray drive and a mediacentre remote. Pretty good build quality, mine has taken a few knocks over the years but still works fine although the case around the screen occasionally needs clipping back into place now. On the negative side though, I have had to clean out the fan as it's been clogged with dust and has caused the laptop to overheat. I don't feel the fan outlet is very well placed as it is easily blocked if you have the laptop on your lap. It would be better placed at the side than on the back edge. I've also had to replace the thermal pads on the processor etc. with thermal paste, as the pads had deteriorated so badly that the laptop was overheating even when performing very unintensive tasks.
My other gripe would be the battery life on Dells in general. My previous one had the "Battery needs replacing" warning after a couple of years, and this one after about 18 months. I can still use the laptop plugged in but if I want to take it anywhere I can probably count on about 30 minutes juice before I run out. I would have hoped Dell would have got some better batteries by now, especially as they're £100+ to replace.
The studio 15 has done me proud. It's a powerful enough rig even in it's most basic form to run multiple demanding programmes and high quality video games at good speeds and qualities. It's "mobility" graphics card is surprisingly versatile for an in built chip set, the screen is crisp and bright, the keyboard is comfortable and easy to use, lots of useful software is bundled as standard and the laptop itself contains as many ports and card readers as one could ever need (special mentions to the SD card reader and the 3 USB 2.0 ports). I have however experienced some problems with the laptop over the last few months as my laptop has aged, keys have come loose on the keyboard and I had a problem with overheating leading to damage to the motherboard. Thankfully as this was all within warranty, Dell provided a very fast and helpful repair service getting me up and running as well as ever. I would recommend buying direct from Dell and possibly also immediately upgrading to Windows 7 to free up a little more of the 4GB RAM for better performance.
*Edit: For gamers, the mobility card allows the use of system RAM for increased graphical power- this means that if there's not too much running at once, this laptop can generate around 1.5GB of graphical memory. The processors are fast and the hard-drive transfer speeds excellent. The speakers started excellent, but have sadly become a little raspy over time. I can recommend this laptop highly, as long as the buyer is aware that it may only last 2-3 years as a truly great piece of kit.
The core i5 Sandy Bridge processor on this machine rocks. Integrated graphics performance is very good.Windows experience index for this laptop is as follows:Processor - 6.9Memory - 5.9Graphics 4.7Gaming Graphics - 6.1Primary Hard Disk - 5.8These figures are really impressive.Here are my observations for the other components:Screen - Dot pitch is high (not good). I can almost see grid lines on the screen. It is also quite reflective.Touch Pad - Decent. I had some trouble with multi-finger gestures.Webcam - Very clearKeyboard - Good. The chicklet keys are very nice for typing. The area near the left palmrest does get a little hot after a while, though.Back cover - Terrible. It scratches up waaaay too easily.Ports - Nice layout. Has USB 3.0 and HDMI.
This is the first time I've purchased a Dell laptop, so I was a little nervous. Virtually every product has negative reviews online. Well, so far I've been thrilled with the performance. It's a very snappy machine. It gets everyday use and is more than adequate to meet my needs. I especially like the high res screen and the backlight keyboard. I'll never buy another laptop without a backlight keyboard.Pros - fast processor, large hard drive, 9-cell battery that can last six hours or more, beautiful screen, awesome backlit keyboard, quiet, cool operation, lack of bloatware.Cons - Somewhat flimsy plastic shell, outer surface prone to fingerprints, and terrible trackpad drivers (Synaptic has upgraded so why doesn't Dell?).
I have bought Studio 15' for my granddaughter who is spending the winter with my wife and me. She will be joining her junior year of college and this laptop should help her for next few year.Pros:Price was affordable and was received it on the time.With i5 processor it works nicely and cool.No problems with installing the softwares, WiFi or Video & Pictures.Cons:Would wanted to have i7 chipboard but this configuration should be fine for now.

Karsten Kroon finished ninth and world champion Cadel Evans was 13th for the BMC Racing Team Sunday in an aggressive edition of the Amstel Gold Race.
Helped By Evans At Key Moment
Kroon said he greatly benefited from Evans's assistance when an attack split the field with about 30 kilometers to go in the 258 km race. "Cadel closed some gaps and was really strong," Kroon said. "Obviously it was a big honor to have him there to help me. In the final, it was incredibly hard. The Cauberg is such a hard finish. The strongest always wins and today it was (Philippe) Gilbert."
World Champion Pleased
Evans said he was pleased with the way he rode in his first race since last month's Criterium International. "It was a pleasure to work for Karsten today," Evans said. "You really have to have the experience to do well at this race. Based upon my performance today, I'm looking forward to Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège."

Rated 1 out of 5 by Diamondg19 Not happy Though I love the different colors and prints on the reva flats they are the most uncomfortable flats i've ever owned. I've never really gotten the impression that there comfortable but I was willing to try them out. I got many blisters on the sides and back of my feet. For the price I was just hoping they'd be able to have some sort of comfort. I have pretty narrow feet so I'm not sure if I'd recommend them to anyone with wider feet unless you don't mind the pain.

Barack Obama gave a powerful message last night when he said that the election was not about him, but about us. The same is true for the change we are so anxious to see-it's about us building the momentum. That's why CODEPINK and other grassroots activists from all over the country were so determined to take the message of peace to the Democratic National Convention. While Barack Obama barely mentioned Iraq in his acceptance speech, we were there all week long to bring a peace platform to the DNC.
Yes, there were some places where we were not welcome (and even kicked out!) but most delegates embraced us with love and gratitude. They, too, are frustrated by the lack of leadership in our country when it comes to getting out of Iraq, and are ready to stand up for issues and not just candidates. Over 1,000 delegates wore or held our message, I am A Delegate for PEACE.
On our pinked up rollerblades and bicycles we painted Denver pink with PEACE. We even created a giant "Make Out Not War" aerial image with our bodies--and check out more great DNC photos here. We covered the streets with our powerful posters, designed by Favianna Rodriquez. They are now collectors' items. Click here to get yours at the CODEPINK store.
Of course not every single moment was peachy with peace. While many of the police in Denver loved our visuals and Make Out Not War stickers, sometimes they over-reacted with protestors. Click here to see CODEPINKer Alicia Forrest slammed to the ground by a police officer. Thankfully Alicia is recovering and will pursue legal action against those responsible for this extreme use of force.
No rest for CODEPINK! We are off to St. Paul, Minnesota now, and are excited to bring our message of peace to the Republican National Convention. Be sure to watch for our pink presence in the RNC media coverage!
Raising a ruckus for peace,
Alicia, Anne, Dana, Deidra, Desiree, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Jean, Jodie, Liz, Lori, Medea, Nancy, Rae and Tighe
p.s. A huge thank you to everyone who made this week in Denver possible, from those who sent us banners, costumes and other visuals to those who traveled across the country to join us. We couldn't have done it without you!!!

Hey folks
My beloved Canon has given up the ghost in the form of a lens error, and I need to buy a new compact digital
My budget is around the £200 mark, and I started looking at the Panasonic TZ7, and then had a glance at the Canon PowerShot SX200 - but not mad keen on the pop up flash, as I do a lot of travelling and know it would get knocked sooner or later.
I like the idea of:
- a c. 25mm wide angle, HD video, c. 10/12x optical zoom.
- a fairly fast lens!
- something that performs well in bright and in low light
- something that gives good colours (some previous cameras' photos just seemed so washed out) - now I recognise I'm not going to get DSLR colours, but something close would be good!!
RAW isn't something I know a great deal about, and I'm guessing I won't be able to buy a camera that shoots raw on my modest budget
As you can probably tell from my message, I'm not the most technical person, but I'm learning - I'd be really happy to receive any advice, and thanks very much in advance
