RUSH!!!! Yes, thank you,thank you i know i know..... JP -
I notice yesterday that while PM was running the fan reved up. I checked iStat and the temps were up and PM was @ 46% usage. Shut down the PM, MBP temp gradually dropped. And to my ears didn't really sound any better or worse. The V-link - Dac25.3 combo trully kicks that much ass! J

Thx Paul. I concur. and i would send you my Dac25.3 for a week of listening in a heart beat... that's if you would send me your Proton in return. hell i'd through in the XPS too. thx again JP
-
Not necessarily same or better... Just different... i have had some good listening time now with mine, and it does sound better with both laptops. Mostly Rock, Rhythm and Blues or and a Punk tune here and there sometimes more here than there. The MBP is the Ref unit. The XPS just for giggles, both loaded with the same tracks, at the same bit rates, file sizes, formats, same junkie USB cables. then again, the last piece of kit i bought was a new ST-2 fm antenna..... thx JP

A generic blue, black, and grey one. Saving up the pennies of the discretionary income i have for a nice Wireworld or Kimber unit. JP

You don't need the V-Link with the Dac25.3 It's just antoher box of snake oil feeding into another box of snake oil. Then to another box of snake oil feed to 250wpc!! To your speakers and out comes some Screaming VanHalen and all is good again! And after a couple of Tequila Difusers you'll never know any difference anyway! LMAO!

v-link because.. "Standard computer USB outputs are synchronous. This means that the computer will determine its output data rate at its whim. From an audiophile’s perspective this is a disaster. The data rate might be 14 BIT 32 kHz or it might be at a higher data rate. It just depends on…what the computer decides to do." "The solution to this problem is asynchrony. Simply put the receiving device instructs the computer to give it data (via its USB output) at whatever rate it has been stored on the computer disc. This is a big change. Now an audiophile can be confident that the data received from his computer is genuinely high quality and unfailingly consistent. Perfect!" JP
