Sorry I have just seen this response. We have been using for Optical and Coaxial the Supra Cable. Zac Optical and the Trico Coaxial then for USB leads we have been using some Audioquest Cinnamon.

The V-Link offers slightly better sonics than just running direct to the V-DAC with USB as it runs asynchronous. Regards Phil

You don't need USB or the v-link since your computer has an optical sp/dif out. You can connect this to the v-dac and you'll have the same quality as if you had the v-link - only far cheaper.

It's what I do, though did buy the upgraded power supply.

Also, optical connections generally offer a larger amount of jitter on transfer. As the USB input on the V-Link is properly implemented it will probably offer less jitter. I think the jitter on the V-Link was actually immeasurable if I havn't just made that word up.

Any technical explanation how data manages to produce:

Sound is admirably balanced, the composed treble neatly complemented by solidly planted, appropriately forceful bass and an open, expressive midrange.

I don't know. It's a bit like all those speakers that manage to evoke a range of emotional responses to music with magnets and coils of wire shaking a bit of paper or plastic in a box. The basic principle goes back to Faraday's experiments and yet every loudspeaker still sounds different even when fed an identical signal.

I guess it's similar with 'data'. Identical data gets converted to an analogue signal and, from then on, it is subject to all sorts of variables.

Can we assume that...

Is there in the recording studio?

Ah, I get it now. You were quoting from this review...

It would have been better if you had put your quote in 'quotes' (or italics) or provided a link. Without any of that, it looks like your own words.

It's less apparent with something monotonous, apparently.

Yes, I know the system you have – that's why I referred to it in an earlier answer.

As far as V-Link is concerned, this should give you some prices and stockists.

Yes, if you buy the Onkyo you'll still need the V-Link or something like it to act as an interface between the USB output of your computer and the optical/electrical digital inputs on the receiver. You may also want to add an external DAC, depending on what you think of the sound quality of the conversion built into the receiver - that's really a matter for personal opinion and some listening tests.

When you buy a receiver, you will also need a new speaker package, for reasons I have already pointed out, and also a Blu-ray player. £1500 should be more than sufficient to get everything you need.

Hello Sir,Hope u r doing great?? long time,situation's made me to look for all in one system and i bought this thurshday an ex-display pioneer lx-01 all in one from a hi-fi store for 475 pounds only with 12 month gurantee,(even used one sold at 465 pounds at ebay last week).I would like to share my happiness with u as u guided me lot when i started here,i also have v-dac and v-psu too..Before purchasing Lx-01 i asked over phone to the hifi store staff is all good with the system he told me its in good condition but can't gurantee its perfect!!.

(Cosmetic vise it's really looks like new,peformance wise i am not that good to find any mistakes(ofcourse its sounds really awesome to me since all these days i used to hear through my sonydav-dz111).

Since its an ex-display,is there any thing i have to look after particularly in this system regarding performance lack etc.?? (still have few days if iam not happy i can return it) Is it good idea to buy a ex-display home cinema system like this??
