Totally different circuit inside, apart from doing 192 uses a much better usb chip, better power regulation, has galvanic isolation on both inputs and separate crystals instead of "one size fits all" in the original Vlink.
it makes everything played through it sound better, even 16/44 redbook.
And I mean a lot better...
Sounds not so good out the box, needs a couple of weeks to burn in imo.
That was the same with the original Vlink though.
Great review of it here on ComputerAudiophile
http://www.computeraudiophile.com/co...verter-review/
The V-Link 192 costs roughly 20% as much as the best USB to S/PDIF converter I've used (BADA Alpha USB) yet it delivers near 90% of the sonic performance. I highly recommend the V-Link 192 for the vast majority of users who don't feel the urge to spend vast amounts of money squeezing the remaining few percentage points of performance from their systems. At $399 the V-Link 192 is a uncomplicated device that plays a critical role and is a tremendous overachiever.
Fantastic upgrade for not stupid money.
sure thing mate, think the troops wouldn't mind a listen to the Quads!Quote:

My dac doesn't have BNC inputs though?
It comes with a BNC/RCA adapter & another gizmo, an RF attenuator (read about it in the TNT review)Quote:
