Musical Fidelity V90-DAC

Description

When you examine a high-end DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter), the first thing you’ll notice is its substantial casing. To the best of our knowledge, this casing doesn’t contribute anything substantial to its technical or sonic performance. If you remove the top cover, in most cases, you’ll encounter a complex internal layout that may give the impression of high performance. However, a closer analysis reveals that the actual signal processing and data conversion are carried out by a relatively small number of key components. The rest of the design seems more like decorative elements intended to convey competence. These observations served as the foundation for the V90-DAC concept.

Our goal was to create the finest DAC in the world while offering it at a fair price. By utilizing cutting-edge design methods and high-quality components, we embarked on a journey to design a DAC that would deliver exceptional technical performance, all packaged in a modestly priced enclosure.

The V90-DAC achieves a balanced combination of measurements, encompassing distortion, noise, linearity, bandwidth, and phase. Taken together, these measurements are hardly surpassed by any product, regardless of its price point.

While you might come across occasional DACs that claim slightly better performance than the V90-DAC in specific areas, their overall performance will not surpass it. Many competitors boast about their so-called “emperor’s new clothes,” but they fail to provide substantial real-world performance to substantiate their claims. Instead, they rely on subjective opinions without concrete evidence.
