Upgrade?

[Mike - H]

At present I'm listening to digital through three units. Firstly is my CA 650c with it's twin Wolfson WM8740 dacs, secondly is my Sonos connect going through the Dac in my XTZ A100 amp and thirdly is the Graham Slee Novo headphone amp. Would a Caiman MKII be a marked improvement in any of these areas?

After having been fortunate enough to have some other DAC owners bring down their DACs to compare against the Caiman MKII, I have to say that the answer to your question is a resounding YES. And you get enough time to evaluate the Caiman MKII against your existing DAC in the full and secure knowledge that you'll get a full refund if you are not entirely happy and wish to return it to me. So take the guessing out of the equation and listen to the Caiman MKII yourself and make your own mind up.
As one new Caiman owner put it in an email to me only this morning:" I am a sceptic by birth, so I didn't expect much other than a shed load of hype about the Caiman MKII. But as I sat down with a cynical smile on my face to listen to the DAC and started to hear new instruments, vocals, and loads of other things, that cynical smile turned into tears of delight. And that "crappy" set of speaker and "underpowered" amp of mine are nothing of the sort. I have just been feeding them a poor diet of music all these years."
There isn't much I can say to that.

Hi, this has probably already been covered somewhere (did do some research, couldn't find anything).

Is there an exchange plan in which old models are exchanged for new ones at a reduced price ? I currently own a TD7530.

thank's

It sounds great from new. (I did leave it to warm up for a day)

Might be my imagination, but I think it also got better as it settled
