As a happy long-term MF user, I can be 99% certain of 2 things: 1) the v-link is not jitter free and is probably no better - possibly worse! - than the Touch at generating s/pdif 2) ...because the v-link will be let down by a less-than-great power supply design and choice of components -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
