MF V-DAC sample rates

[headphickle]

Hello everyone,

 

I would be very appreciative if anyone has definitive information about the maximum sample rate supported by the Musical Fidelity V-DAC over coaxial SPDIF. Unfortunately the V-DAC manual is silent on this. The chipset employed (BB 1792) supports rates up to 200khz per its spec sheet, however some say the V-DAC can only handle 96khz while others claim 192khz. Is there anyone who has verified it does 192khz without some kind of truncation? Thanks for your help.

 

Regards,

Hi Headphickle - Musical Fidelity told me the coax S/PDIF can handle up to 192k and the TOSLINK 96k. However if you want to have the best chance of truly hearing/exploiting 192k material, the new M1DAC is the way to go. Both coax and AES go to 192, and the power supply and analog output stage are much more elaborate.

Hello Chris,

 

Many thanks for the info. I appreciate the tip about the M1DAC, too.
