    Default Beresford Caiman DAC, Tirna Upgrades including custom passive output

    Hi, I have a highly modified Beresford Caiman DAC for sale. The modifications include the full Tirna Electronics upgrades: Murata regs, and Elna Silmic caps. In addition Tirna have modified my passive output section to include a protection circuit which has Schotty Diodes and resistors to stop DC feeding back into the dac. This was very useful for me as I was using it with a very simple passive preamp with no protection circuit in it. It sounds fantastic. Very similar to my 7530, but slightly quieter. The Caiman has the advantage of having a built in preamp section which the new 7530 doesnt. The passive output means that the headphone circuit is bypassed.

    Its only for sale because I currently own 4 dacs and something has to go!

    It has the original packaging and PSU. I want to make it available to people here first, but if nobody is interested it will be off to the four letter word trading website which shall not be named. £160 including postage throughout the UK. I am based in Strathaven Lanarkshire if anyone local is interested.
