earlier Musical Fideltiy V-LInk to new V-Linkll

Anybody know of any differences between the first generation V-Link (now on clearance for $99) or the newer V-Link ll for $189?
I'm talking about the coax/toslink out versions...I want to toslink out..
Thanks!

I have seen claims that the power supply has been upgraded, but I have not details.

You mean the regulation inside the V-Link ? The unit is bus powered and does not come with PSU.

Elboroth2 - The references that I have seen must refer to the internal power regulation. I agree there is no external power. As I said, I have no real details, just some one line references that I have seen.

I just read that the V-link II galvanically isolates the computer's power from the DAC, the V-link does not.

Realremo - do you have a reference? What I have read is that the galvanic isolation may just mean that the signal is isolated when Toslink is being used. I don't think it does anything for other interconnects. It would be nice to know if it has galvanic isolation in addition to the Toslink.
