Differences between Link 1, 2 and 3 DACs?

I am looking to buy a Link DAC, but I'm not sure which model to buy, the 1, 2 or 3. I understand version 3 is the easiest to upgrade, but I'm not really looking to upgrade it. The only thing I would want to add would be just an AES/EBU input, not the upgrade with the upsampler board though. Wouldn't it be better to go from a Monarchy DIP to the Link DAC using the AES/EBU jacks rather than Coax?

I can get a Link 1 DAC for about $80, or the Link 2 DAC with a Monolithic HC-2 PSU for about $150... so I'm wondering if I should save the extra money for cables or buy one of the newer DACs.

Thanks

I have MSB Link DAC II and I have MSB Link DAC III !!!!
Basicaly thay arethe same ??? But not realy. Sond is quite similar but I prefer DAC III definitely. Monolith suplly is needed !!!! If you have dejiter than find used MPS, it will make DAC sound much better. Dan take next step and upgrade MSB DAC with better parts inside. There are quite a few to swop that will make huge improvement in sound !!!! Just go for it !!! Use the Linear Tehnology and Analog Devices .
