Questions about Musical Fidelity V-Link USB/SPDIF

Hi Bob,
Is this the original V Link in black with the scared black cat printing on it, close out for 99, or the newer mk ll that usually sells for $189?
Thanks...

The V Link brought the XDA-1 to the next level. Music sounded much more relaxed and I could listen for many hours at a time. Bass was good, mids and highs were smooth. I recently moved up to the Wyred4Sound DAC1 and using in conjunction with the V Link, the sound is much fuller, bass goes much deeper. Highs are very pure, no hint of grain. By comparison, the XDA-1 sounded a bit lighter. Even though my new dac has the 24/96 usb input, I prefer the sound with the V Link in the equation. It also enables me to listen to 88.2KHZ files as well.

I also foiund that digital cables made a big difference, I settled on Wireworld Starlight usb and spdif.

I have a XDA-1 as well and want to purchase a V-link as I have read it does significantly improve the sound. Would like to hear more comments if possible.

Thanks

Found the review of the v-link

There was a very solid review of it a few years back by SP.

Should work well. Let us know how it sounds!
