Modified Beresford DAC

[Covenant]

I have recently bought the Bushmaster Mk11 and can now sell my 7520. It's had loads of mods done to it, all by Tirna Electronics. The most important are:
Wolfson dac chip (Caiman)
Gator board
Upgraded op-amps
Most caps replaced with Elna Silmic 11's

Lot's more information here:http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?19496-Beresford-Mods-from-the-Drawing-Room

Personally, I think the SQ is not far from the Bushmaster but has the advantage of having fixed and variable outlets (preamp function) plus USB input so it is a more flexible piece of equipment. I would say that the Bushmaster has a better headphone circuit so if this is important to you don't buy it.

I reckon, in addition to its original cost about £150 has been spend on the upgrades. I am asking £80 plus £5 for p & p in the UK.

What you basically got there Jerry is a Caiman SEG in a TC-7520 case. The SEG goes for good money on eBay.

I had a lot of fun with it Stan and it sounds brilliant. I really dont want to sell it on Ebay to someone who doesn't appreciate the effort that has gone it to it-design and build wise.

I am sure I could have got a lot more on Ebay but I wanted to keep it in the AOS 'family'. George may want to do further mods so will be able to refer to the information on the forum.
