New Upgrade Now Features Asynchronous USB Circuitry

Musical Fidelity's MkII version of the wildly popular V-DAC has a brand new look to go with its upgraded circuitry. In addition to the vastly improved cosmetics, the V-DAC MkII has been refined to include the highly regarded V-LINK asynchronous USB input filter – a $189 value.

"It Reminded Me of a Top Quality Vinyl Front End"

"First and foremost the V-DAC II is superb value for the money, offering the latest technology in a discrete package with looks that do its quality internals justice," notes Andrew Simpson in his October 2011 review for England's Hi-fi News magazine. "It reminded me of a top quality, neutral vinyl front end."

The V-DAC MkII also features an upgraded power supply, which improves image clarity, detail, and focus. The Musical Fidelity design team also tweaked the overall circuitry. The end result of these enhancements is to bring distortion down to even lower levels than before. In fact, MkII boasts half the low distortion level of the already exceptional original model V-DAC.

The V-DAC MkII's 24-bit, 192 kHz upsampling gives you true high-def sound. It uses the highly regarded Burr Brown DSP 1796 chipset.

USB, Toslink, and Coaxial Connections

So, now more than ever, V-DAC's performance is way beyond so-called state-of-the-art competition. The USB input lets you connect a PC or portable digital device and experience your musical files in a whole new light. Also on board are Toslink and coaxial digital connections.

The ruler-flat frequency response and excellent stereo separation restore the authenticity that's missing from some digital recordings. Musical Fidelity uses state-of-the-art digital components and implements them with state-of-the-art circuitry and layout.

  • Asynchronous USB Input Filter
  • 24 bit/192 kHz Upsampling
  • Burr Brown DSP 1796 Chipset
  • Upgraded Power Supply
  • Inputs: RCA Coaxial, Toslink, USB
  • THD: .00019
  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio: -108 dB
  • Dimensions: 4" x 6.5" x 1.75"

"First and foremost the V-DAC II is superb value for the money, offering the latest technology in a discrete package with looks that do its quality internals justice. For those wanting to bring warmth and detail to an aging or budget CD player, then his may be just the ticket. And for hi-fi fans seeking an easy starter package to get decent sounds from computer-based audio, the MF would be a hard act to beat."

"It reminded me of a top quality, neutral vinyl front end."

- Andrew Simpson, Hi-fi News magazine, October 2011

great improvement to my budget hifi system
I have a home built htpc with a nice sound card to play my lossless files. I have an older NAD T744 5.1 surround sound amp and PSB 5t speakers and a 12psb sub. I was skeptical that the v dac mk ii would make much of a difference. I bought one and the v psu power supply upgrade. I decided to go for the psu since it will work with the phono amp also. What an obvious improvement when listening to lossless files ripped from red book cds. Maybe it was jitter detracting from the audio quality before but everything sounds bolder, sharper, crisp, and loud with no distortion. An obvious improvement to my entry-level audiophile system.

Good...Very Good!
I own and am familiar with the original V-DAC, a high quality sound for not a lot of money. I decided to add the V-DAC II to my collection and I can unequivocally state it is very much better. I compared the II to a highly regarded Benchmark USB using a Woo WA6SE and Audeze headphones. This is easily accomplished by switching between the two inputs on the Woo. Let me say there is little, very little difference between the two DACs. A slight sense of spatiousness and detail with the Benchmark but this is subtle, very subtle. The difference in price is substantial so it is clear that the much better choice is the V-DAC II.
