Basic problem-solving with an amplifier is similar to troubleshooting other electrical or electronic equipment.

Always check the most obvious possible causes first, such as the following examples:

Specifications:

Input

Up to 24 Bit

Up to 192kHz

USB stream

 

Output impedance

50Ω

 

SPDIF stream

Problem

No power

No sound

No Output

Dropouts in sound

Probable Cause

Computer not switched on.

USB plug is not fully inserted into rear socket or computer

Faulty or disconnected USB socket on computer

Wrong connections between input source and the V-LINKI92

Wrong connections between the V- LINK192 output and the following component

Digital output lead not properly connected

Faulty digital output lead

Shared USB port with another device Computer busy with another application Computer low on resources

Remedy

Check USB is plugged in.

Plug in securely

Check with computer manual/manufacturer that USB socket is enabled/in use.

Check digital/USB input leads are securely connected.

Green LOCK LED will light when an active USB host (computer) is detected and ready to use.

Check digital output lead connections.

Check following DAC or digital receiving equipment is correctly setup and can handle 192kHz 24 bit digital signals.

Check input lead is fully secured

Change or replace lead. Please use a good quality straight-through signal-and-ground phono to phono lead for digital coaxial connections.

Avoid sharing the USB port with other devices. At times an application (program) may intervene, sometimes invisibly e.g. a virus scanner. When this happens, computer resources are temporarily used up, and playback may suffer. This is not a fault. Try running fewer applications. See “additional USB information” section.

V-LINK192 specifications

Musical Fidelity's V-LINK192 is a high-performance USB digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that serves as a crucial link between digital music sources and analog audio systems. Designed to elevate the listening experience, the V-LINK192 offers impressive specifications and capabilities aimed at both audiophiles and casual music lovers alike.

One of the primary features of the V-LINK192 is its ability to handle high-resolution audio formats up to 24-bit/192kHz. This means it can process a wide range of digital audio files, bringing out the subtleties and nuances that are often lost in standard formats. With support for various audio codecs, the V-LINK192 ensures compatibility with a myriad of playback devices, including computers, tablets, and music servers.

The V-LINK192 utilizes asynchronous USB technology, which is instrumental in reducing jitter—a common issue in digital audio that can lead to distortion and loss of detail. By controlling the timing of the audio signals more effectively, the DAC improves overall sound quality, delivering a cleaner and more precise audio output.

Equipped with a robust power supply, the V-LINK192 maintains consistent performance even during critical listening sessions. It is designed to minimize noise interference, thereby enhancing audio clarity. The build quality is sturdy, featuring a compact and elegant chassis that integrates seamlessly into any audio setup.

In terms of connectivity, the V-LINK192 is user-friendly, featuring multiple outputs such as RCA and coaxial connections, allowing for simple integration with existing audio systems. The device also boasts a plug-and-play design, making it accessible to users who may not have extensive technical knowledge.

Another standout characteristic of the V-LINK192 is its advanced digital processing capabilities. It includes a sophisticated built-in up-sampling feature that can convert lower resolution files into higher resolution, improving playback fidelity. This ensures that even standard-quality files can be enjoyed with an enhanced audio experience.

In summary, Musical Fidelity's V-LINK192 is a versatile and high-quality USB DAC that caters to discerning audio enthusiasts. With its high-resolution support, asynchronous USB technology, exceptional build quality, and user-friendly design, it offers both performance and convenience, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to bridge the gap between digital and analog audio.
