  1. Paul, let just say that I'm not trying to say your wrong, or that I know anything more then what I'm reading, and I definitely read Chris's article more then a few times. I just want to try to get to the bottom of this issue, as I have a ridiculous amount of money invested in my system, the room in general, and in my CD collection. BTW, as a fellow Maggie owner, I bet we'd get along fine sonically. This is from the owner's manual on the Music Hall website- To achieve the best sound, we use an advanced asynchronous reclocking and anti-jitter control system upstream of the PCM1796 digital-to-analog converter. For this system, we are using the Philips 74HC574 in conjunction with the Texas Instruments SRC4192 Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter, whose master clock is a high precision active crystal oscillator.
  2. Are you confusing ASRC with Adaptive USB? The Dac25.3 is asynchronous USB capable and has a Ti SRC4192 Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter w/high precision active crystal oscillator master clock. The former reduces jitter and the latter upsamples the digital sound to 24/192. No one has made a convincing argument to get a V-link with this DAC.
  3. Why would think the v-link's asynchronous USB reclocker is any better then the DAC25.3's?
  4. Talked to Roy Hall today and he confirmed my point above about not needing a V-Link.
  5. I just emailed the following to Music Hall- 'm trying to hook up my Vortex Box Server to my hi-fi system and I can't seem to get a clear answer on this issue. If I get a Dac25.3, why would I need a Musical Fidelity V-Link to convert the USB out of the server to SPDIF? If I buy the 25.3, it features "Asynchronous Reaclocking" so why would I need to convert the USB to SPDIF before using the DAC? I'm thinking the answer is I just need the 25.3, but I wanted to verify the answer with you. I believe Roy Hall answers the email personally. I'll post their response.
  6. If I buy the 25.3, it features "Asynchronous Reaclocking" so why would I need to convert the USB to SPDIF before using the DAC?
  7. I just ordered a three 3 TB RAID5 Vortex Box from Small Green Computer. I plan on using a USB DAC, either a Bellari or Grant USB DAC. Can't wait to check it out!!!
