earlier Musical Fideltiy V-LInk to new V-Linkll

It in on the spdif out side, not usb.

Elberoth2 - the question remains, does it isolate the ground? Any idea? I find nothing in their literature. Thanks.

From the 6Moons article, it looks like there was galvanic isolation on the original HiFace. I missed that originally. Thanks Elberoth2 for pointing that out. Since my original one does have ground continuity from the USB to RCA, I would guess that the new one does also, but I cannot be sure.

Hello all, just an update on the Lars Audio that I posted about... I had sent an email to Gigawork.. they replied that indeed the sound of their converter was more than they hoped for, but they didn't count on driver issues.. it seems that Kernel streaming and other formats won't work with the Cmedia 6610 and Cmedia is not producing any drivers. Windows has a couple drivers that work fine for Wasapi, but won't support ANY of the others.... Of course, I didn't know that and am using Wasapi...
Gigawork pulled this converter until they have a solution... if you email them directly, they will still sell one, but be aware of the situation.
I hope this helps, Tim

Thanks Tim. I did notice that they stopped selling the product. Now I know why. But I will continue to keep an eye on them.
