The Beresford is *very* good. It got pretty close to my modded Sony. Stan's DAC rather shockingly demonstrates the laws of diminishing returns in hi-fi - to get that extra 10%, or so, that the top DACs deliver (and I'm not necessarily referring to current uber-'hi-end' designs here), requires the spending of a lot more cash and therefore consequently far less sound-per-pound value.
I could completely understand anyone buying the Beresford, using it with a top-notch transport, or in a quality computer audio set-up, and forgetting about upgrading their digital hardware for a very long time

Well my Beresford arrived safely this morning and has been playing away for the last couple of hours.
Sounds pretty damn good - it's just so much more 'tidy' sounding than the SB's internal DAC. Clearer, less 'noisy' and with far more depth and breadth. Less halo around intruments and more fundamental tone. Would give the CA840C's DAC a very good run for its money.
I'll probably end up selling my Slee Solo Phones amp now as I can just use the 7510's headphone socket for late night listening.
Well chuffed.
Richard.
