Why my DAC will not work with the Mus. Fid. V-Link

I have a wonderful Museatex Bidat, and I just purchased a Musical Fidelity V-Link (earlier black box version). I have not been able to make the Bidat lock on the signal, the V-link works well with an inexpensive DAC I purchased on ebay, but I want to use my better converter, would anyone know what the problem is?
I'll appreciate any input.
Thanks so much

Thanks so much guys for your valuable input, it makes me understand a bit more about this issue, unfortunately I do not really know how to change the output to 16/44, I have a Mac computer.
Thanks again

Are you using any custom player like Audirvana or Amarra or Pure Music?

If you are using iTunes:

Look for Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup

It should look like the screenshot below, except you should have the VLink in the list. Click on the VLink icon

On the right, you can set the output bitrate and sample rate. Set them to 2ch 16-bit integer and format at 44100Hz

Mario,

When I had a V-link in my system, using a Mac, it would output 96khz if not "told otherwise". I don't know if the same is true for a PC. However, if your DAC is limited to incoming signals at 41/48khz, this could be the problem. I am sure someone else could tell you how to restrict or not upsample the signal from the v-link in windows, if this is the problem.

Cheers,
Soren
