Musical Fidelity V-DAC IIMusical Fidelity V-DAC II Upsampling Digital-To-Analogue Converter. Musical Fidelity have added to their V series of products with a successor of the V-DAC aptly named V-DAC II. The V-DAC II offers a sturdy silver chassis and features the same Asynchronous technology found in the V-Link. The V-DAC II offers half the the amount of distortion seen in the V-DAC, now at just 0.002% from 20Hz to 20kHz. Like the original V-DAC the V-DAC II has been engineered to be as simple as it can possibly be - and no simpler. As a result, it offers sonic performance equal to or greater than many so-called high end DACs. Superb value entry level digital converter with a clean, crisp and engaging sound Hi-Fi World The technical performance of the V-DAC II is probably about the best in the world regardless of price. There is no trickery here. It's simply that V-DAC II uses state-of-the-art digital components and implement them with state-of-the-art circuitry and layout. The secret is simple; there's no ridiculous packaging, and absolutely no wastage on anything. The V-DAC II is rather like an F1 racing car. It is completely functional with no excess or wastage anywhere. The V-DAC II is powered by a 12V DC power supply and features an upsampling 24-bit 192k DAC, along with digital inputs for all of your digital sources, consisting 1 x Coax, 1 x Optical and an Asynchronous USB digital input, along with standard stereo RCA outputs. This latest generation of V-DAC enables you to combine the original V-DAC and V-Link in one single, sturdy brushed metal case. By any standards, the V-DAC II is a new benchmark for superlative technical performance.
V-DAC II Features- High-quality compact upsampling DAC with low noise
- Ruler flat frequency response with superior stereo separation
- Incredibly low jitter
- Offers half the the amount of distortion seen in the V-DAC
