Musical Fidelity V-DAC MkII Classy New Looks and Much Better Sound Now Save $80 for an Even Better Value The new Musical Fidelity V-DAC MkII brings striking sonic and cosmetic upgrades over its predecessor, the original Musical Fidelity V-DAC. A deceptively simple chassis belies the high-grade circuitry inside. Using the same technology as Musical Fidelity"s old X-DACv8 ($1500), the new V-DAC MkII is a super low noise DAC with great linearity and ruler-flat frequency response. The new asynchronous USB connection accepts 24/96k and 24-bit/192k via coax for matchless crispness and warmth in your music, while the new silver chassis adds a touch of class to the original design. "...the VDAC is a superb value for the money...For those wanting to bring warmth and detail to an [aging] or budget CD player, this may be just the ticket." - HiFi News V-DAC MkII"s excellent stereo separation and ultra-low distortion delivers extremely accurate reproduction. This DAC also has Musical Fidelity"s special jitter-reduction circuitry for enhanced sonic reproduction from the source. Digital inputs for coax, optical and asynchronous USB, this DAC can be used in any system with a transport or a computer, and the V-DAC II is a perfect mate to the Wadia iTransport. "I had heard through the grapevine that the V-DAC II was a great sounding DAC, but it actually surpassed my expectations, and then some...I don"t see any other product on the market at the $350 price point that is offering asynchronous USB, upsampling to 192 Khz and 24 bits on all inputs, and has the V-DAC II"s measurement specs...it would be a steal at double the price, and can only bettered by spending four or five times as much." - Andre Marc, Audio/Video Revolution
