Okeedokee, have had the unit for a while now and love it, just today added a V-Link II and my gawd am I happy with the sound
anything coming form my Mini-Mac just sounds like magic now. System consists of :
Mini-mac (usb) V-link (optical digital) Emotiva XDA-1 (rca jacks) Marantz 2270 - One pair of Dynaco A-25's at full range, and one pair of Dynaco A-25's paired with a BIC F12 subwoofer.
Listening to Bebo Valdez on Pandora right now, sounds like he's in my living room
