I had a Musical Fidelity V-DAC w/V-Link at first. Upgraded the original V-Link to the V-Link 192. Subsequently picked up a B-stock Gungnir from Audio Advisor. It's hard to recall with much detail how different or what improvements the Gungnir brought over the V-DAC. It has been several years. I do recall break in was long and that initially, the Gungnir was dark sounding...top end a bit rolled off with it. I continued to use the V-Link with it as the one I got had not been equipped with USB in. I used BNC from the V-Link. I was happy with sonics streaming via USB from a MacBook Air...whether listening to CDs ripped as ALAC files or streaming Spotify or Tidal. Eventually got an Aries Mini and that brought a step-change improvement in sound. Recently, I sent the Gungnir in for the MultiBit upgrade. If you are considering purchase, get the MB version of the Gungnir from the start. The MB upgrade brought a major improvement to the sound. Upgrade doesn't do it justice. I've posted on here about the Gungnir w/MB. Search on ghosthouse gungnir and I'm sure you will find those comments. Good luck with whatever you do.
