Musical Fidelity's USB Ready V DAC

If everyone preferred the same sound, there would be a lot fewer vendors.

The reviewer acknowledged his bias based on his particular taste, which is all anyone can do. No product is for everyone (thank God).

I think one problem is that Musical Fidelity has the reputation of having some great products and also having some that do not hit the mark very well. They seem to experiment more than many and sometimes they miss. Makes it hard to generalize about their sound. And sometimes their sound is just not for everyone. I am very interested in greeni's report on the V-DAC. If he likes it it is probably really worth a look. As much as I think USB is not the right direction for passing audio, it seems like it will be with us for a while. I am also interested in HDMI output from PCs, as they seem to be coming more common. Apogee has a HMDI to S/PDIF converter box which may be an option. Have not seem much about that approach but it is worth watching. I may get one of the Apogee boxes just to try it.

So any user experience with the V-DAC yet?

Don't you hate it when people bump threads and say things like

"C'mon, guys....STILL no answers re Musical Fidelity's new USB ready DAC?!?!"

I am glad I didn't buy one of these.
