What's funny is 1080P Video + HD Audio is soo much more demanding then simple analog audio. if there was a difference to be had, you'd think it would show up there.

No, the V-link is my first and only converter. I do value your opinion though, it's nice to hear from someone who owned both devices side by side.    I used to believe more in cables, then I started hanging out in the...
