In Reply to: Musical Fidelity V90-DAC rating posted by knewton on March 15, 2014 at 10:57:39:
The other DACs in Class A+ notwithstanding, there are numerous DACs in Class A that have received favorable reviews.
Apparently, the $299 V90 is also superior to the Class A Musical Fidelity M6DAC-$2999, and their Class B M1DAC-$799. That's quite an engineering feat.
The paucity of information on performance aside, the Class rating differences in the "review" and in Recommended Components cause one to wonder if this is an error.
And, no, I have not heard the V90.
