Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2010 • Hot Product

Musical Fidelity electronics were part of a full-blown two-channel system with Verity Audio speakers, all of which produced terrific sound. However, tucked away in the same room was a much more modest system that used a computer as the source and featured some new products. Musical Fidelity's V-Link (center, $169) is a 24-bit/96kHz-compatible asynchronous USB-to-S/PDIF converter -- just the product to connect to the new M1DAC (left, $699), a digital-to-analog converter that upsamples to 192kHz. Completing this personal-listening system was the new M1PHA ($799) class-A headphone amp.
