Music Fidelity V-Link 192

Yes my V90 has USB input, coaxial and SPDIF.  Elevick you seem to get the opposite benefits from what ghosthouse experienced.  The whole assumption or the reason the V-Link was designed is to take the signal from the laptop and improve it so the DAC does a better job right? From what I have read and been told by several is the V90 is a great little dac and Stereophile Class A or B minus.  What higher end DAC did you go with?

Though I am a user of USB/SPDIF converters (V-link, M2Tech Hiface, Audiophellio) I am not sure the V-Link would prove a benefit over your V90 for streaming Spotify Premium. The V90 has asynchronous USB input. 

I guess I was under the assumption that the V-link improved the signal from the laptop and passed it on to the DAC.  But since the V90 has asynchronous USB input the VLink or any USB/SPDIF Converter does nothing for sound improvement?  

A USB/SPDIF converter shouldn't have a big affect on your music.  If your DAC has one already built in then it's hard to conceive that an external one would do much better.  
I moved up to a Chord Hugo-the difference was shockingly good.  I was using the vlink with a Schiit Bifrost.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the information.
