View Full Version : Hello
Hi, im Gareth from Cornwall. I currently have a Rotel ra-06 amp with some cheap sony speakers, but have some b&w 602 s3's on the way. In the next month or so im on the look out for a new dac, quite interested in the beresford 7510+, currently using the onboard headphone out from my pc!
Dont know to much about audio hardware at the moment, hopeing to learn some on here:)
Cheers, Gareth

Hi Gareth and welcome. It sounds like the Beresford DAC is right up your street. The current 7510+ is gathering favourable reviews (as do all of Stan's DACs) and there's a new USB model due very soon. Have a look at the recent HFC review in the Digital Impression section:

It certainly does look good. Im probably going to buy a Trust sc-5250 soundcard using these (http://code.google.com/p/cmediadrivers/) bit perfect drivers through spdif.

That sounds like an idea, I assume that card has coaxial output as well as optical? Either will work, optical has a bad press but is my preferred output as there can be no electrical interference. Others prefer the coaxial (electrical) option. Does your current soundcard not have a digital output?
Yea the trust 5250 has both optical & coaxial outputs, think im going for coaxial.
My onboard soundcard does have digital out, but i doubt its bit perfect, the trust soundcard is very cheap so i dont mind splashing out!
