    Contrary to what many may think, Musical Fidelity listened closely to what was said about the aesthetics of the V-DAC and we took the criticism to heart. We have made a substantial investment in the extrusion fabrication techniques for the V-DAC II. The result is that it looks much better and the finish is also vastly improved. The V-DAC II looks classy and technical at the same time, which is a perfect combination for a DAC.
    yet still impractical as far as where to put it on a rack and how to lay the cables ... to a point that really the best place for it is hidden out of site making the aesthetic improvements redundant ... just IMO

    I agree. It would go behind my rack if I were to get one.

    just, put the connections on one end and make it wider and less deep ... ... in fact a beresford case would be perfect ...


    im mulling the v-link ... it'll go in the cupboard ...

    Looks like the one to beat in the budget sector esp with async usb.

    Mod it.

    Drill a couple of holes and mount a pair of RCAs alongside the inputs.
    Link to pcb with a few inches of screened cable.
