Musical Fidelity V90-DAC 24/192 Upsampling Digital to Analog Converter

Description

The V90-DAC is a DAC designed to deliver stunning sound
quality with a wide range of sources.

Our aim with the V90-DAC was, on balance, to make the best
DAC in the world without breaking the bank. 

Examine any high-end DAC, and the first thing you see is
massive casework. As far as we are aware, this contributes nothing to its
technical or sonic performance. Take the top off, and in most cases you will
find a complex layout that suggests performance. However, further analysis will
show that the real work of signal handling and data conversion is done by a
dozen or so components. The rest is decoration, designed to suggest competence.
These observations formed the basis for the V90-DAC concept. 

We wanted to build the best DAC in the world, but to sell it
at a fair price. Using state-of-the-art design techniques and components, we
set out to design a DAC to produce top-notch technical performance – housed in
a modest, reasonably priced package. 

The V90-DAC has a balance of measurements: distortion,
noise, linearity, bandwidth, and phase, which in their totality are not
significantly bettered by any product at any price. 

If you hunt around, you may find the occasional DAC that
claims to have slightly better performance than the V90-DAC in one area or
another, but in totality will not exceed it. There are plenty of competitors
shouting about their new, wonderful version of the emperor’s new clothes, but
they offer little or nothing in real performance to back up their claims. Just
lots of talk about subjective this or that, but all of it is just a matter of
opinion. 

The V90-DAC is a matter of fact. Its technical and sonic
performance is superlative. There are better DACs but they may cost twenty or
thirty times more. 

Buying the V90-DAC is your personal statement of
independence from overhyped claims.
