Beresford Bushmaster DAC

Remember that I come from a third world society where such offers are far more readily available and at vastly reduced prices.

It's not that (and anyway I wouldn't want that mode to be visible all the time), it would just be extremely useful for fault finding and verification.

This seems a bit strange.

Revealing, yet forgiving.

One thing that I forgot to mention is that the Bushmaster can be used in a car etc. Some in-car DVD players have an optical output and many people have asked me over the years to make a DAC that can be used inside an ICE installation. So now you can :).

I don't think it's strange at all
Forgiving is the wrong word IMO
Revealing but smooth would be a better description

Smooth? Nah - wrong word again! Smooth to me implies smoothed-over and boring!

How about unexaggerated. :)

Like a good valve amp then.

Yep, or a good transistor amp. ;)
