I get the same results I've noticed when I use the iPhone with the Sync cable via USB into my car head unit vs. the Android phone using the mini audio input into the same head unit as a non-subscriber member. But this is Apples and Oranges compared to your V-Link setup.
I have a Grant Fidelity Dac-11 coming next week, I can't wait to hear what Pandora or Spotify will sound like on this. By the way, check out shoutcast.com if not already, they have lots of free streams at 192k, 256k and used to have a few at 320k, but I'm not seeing those right now.
