Hahaha, yes Brian. I much prefer a relaxed, warm and organic sound, rather than a 'modern' clean and highly detailed sound. In fact I cannot listen to systems like that for long, they just don't engage me. I prefer to listen to the music, rather than the system.

I think one of the Rega strengths is that the two inputs are subtlety different and likely to appeal to more people than a DAC which sounds exactly the same, no matter what feed you use. I tried a V-Link but never took to it, I didn't like the SB Touch via S/PDIF either.

Yup agreed mate .I much prefer the relaxed , warm type of sound , sometimes at the expense of detail. The V-Link was very good , I must say ,but the USB input suits my musical tastes better . Incidentally which USB cable are you using . I use a Furutech Formula 2.

Tried the USB on Brian's reccy.
Have to say I liked what it did, could easily live with it.
I liked the focus in teh mid and top end it brought.

Lost some soundstaging and impact though compared to my Vlink 192 and I could only play 24bit tracks at 16bit for some reason?

Worth a try though, sounded great.
Goes to show...never discount stuff till you try it!

[brian2957]

Yup . I've kept my coax cable just in case I get the chance to try the V-Link 192 versus USB in my own system ;)

[Gazjam]

I'll bring it Brian next time I'm over mate.

[brian2957]

Cheers buddy. :)

At the moment Kimber, keep meaning to try the Furutech. USB leads isn't something I have really explored, only tried what I have now and a trusty Belkin, didn't really notice a difference if I'm totally honest :scratch:

[brian2957]

Me and a couple of the troops had a little get together and we tried a few Tim. All of us heard differences . The top of the tree was the TQ USB cable followed by the Furutech . Never tried the Kimber but we did have a Belkin . We all more or less agreed on the outcome .
