Musical Fidelity V90-DAC
Compact digital-to-analogue converter from Musical Fidelity, designed for careful audio conversion in a deliberately reduced format.
Description
The V90-DAC is a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) designed by Musical Fidelity, intended to convert a digital signal into an analogue signal usable by a hi-fi system. Its stated distinctiveness lies in its design approach: rather than relying on a large casing, the brand chose a compact format, focusing on the circuit and components genuinely involved in signal conversion.
The design of the V90-DAC is based on a balance between several measurement parameters: distortion, noise, linearity, bandwidth and phase. This overall balance, rather than isolated performance on a single criterion, aims for consistent reproduction of the converted signal, without seeking to impress on one characteristic at the expense of others.
This type of converter is aimed at music enthusiasts already equipped with a hi-fi system who wish to improve digital-to-analogue conversion from a digital source, without adding unnecessary bulk or expense. Its compact format makes it easy to integrate into a setup where available space is limited.
What to check before buying used
With this small unit, it is worth checking that all digital inputs (coaxial, optical, USB depending on the version) work properly, as well as the firmness of the connectors, which can sometimes be weakened by repeated use. A test with headphones or a pair of speakers helps detect any crackling, humming or channel loss linked to the ageing of internal components. The external power supply (transformer or mains adapter) should also be checked, as its presence and condition determine whether the unit functions.
