curious who else picked up a RetroTink? Finally I have as good of an image as I get with my DC and VGA into a new old stock Sony Trinitron VGA monitor

I'm using my RT4K with DCDigital in direct/passthru mode and it's glorious.

I'm using the mClassic and the results are very similar. Only difference is the lack of parameterization options, which could be compensated to some degree if used with the OSSC as an input to the mClassic. Not sure how much Retrotink 4k goes these days but the mClassic/OSSC combo is less than half of the MSRP and the result is awesome. If one has an AV receiver with 4k upscaler, then he can go the extra step of upscaling all the way up to 2160p. The difference would be small and that would drive the cost a little above Retrotink's MSRP but you can do so much more with the AV receiver in terms of home cinema etc and enjoy 4k for the Dreamcast at the same time.
