Did anyone try the V-Dac with a Kingrex psu or the new little Pinkie V?

Even this way it is a GREAT sounding piece of gear, thanks to the clever digital design (remember it does use the same upsampler and dac chips than the bigger brothers in the MF range, seems a winning combination btw). |

I'll report back when i've spent abit more time with it and hopefully my ears will adjust to the new sound alittle more |

Because I noticed that the outputs and inputs are placed on either side of the DAC itself which I find rather awkward and not very visually pleasing.(I'd rather have all the wires sticking out the back of a unit which faces the wall) I know that this is purely aesthetic and not performance related at all. It may not matter to you at all but I'm just curious. Some pictures would be bonus. Cheers |
