Question Regarding USB Transfer Mode
sarcese52 replied to rjw57's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
The V-Link is only an interface converter that supports asynchronous transfer, the Dac in the Integra is what is Isochronous. Get an inexpensive Dac such as a Cambridge Dac Magic Plus or the Musical Fidelity V Dac II which will replace the V Link and the Integra Dac and use an analog input. -
Get a firewire hard drive. I have one on my iMac & it sounds great. It's an iomega

The Focal XS Satellites & Sub have a built-in USB Dac and sound great for under $600. I have it hooked up to my iMac with Amarra HiFi and iTunes using a firewire external Drive for my iTunes media folder. It really sounds lifelike and extremely detailed.
