Possible: yes. Practical: very unlikely. The parts manufacturers want orders of 10K on the pusk buttons and 3K on the headphone sockets. It's easier to rip the standard DAC apart and customize it with the coloured parts as required.

Your right. Do you think a USB version will appear anytime soon as i need to dump the DAC i'm using with the Laptop at the mo, replace it with one of these Bushmasters.
Testing, testing. one..two ;). But joking aside I am aiming for a June date if possible.Quote:

Brilliant Stan The wife can buy me one for my Birthday then :eyebrows:
Looks like just what i need for when the SB Touch goes tits up and i have to go back to the netbook. :eek:
How about a Bushmaster with additional 2 pairs of RCA inputs, USB, volume control for headphones and RCA outs. A Bushmaster DAC preamp which would retain or improve on the sound of the current Bushmaster, with a fair price to boot. Should this become available, I'm in.

From my Gallery thread:
This is the other substantial addition to the system this week. From what others have said elsewhere about Stan's little marvel I was confident beforehand that the BM would outperform the Caiman, but what I was not prepared for was by how much. The BM really is a staggeringly capable piece of equipment in every respect and in my opinion qualifies to be called a statement product. I hope Stan is rightfully proud of his little baby because his design prowess is evident throughout.
One of the things that disappointed me about the Caiman from the off was the poor quality of its headphone output, particularly so because I purchased a pair of Superlux 668B headphones before the Caiman was delivered to take advantage of it. Despite coming pre-fitted with a Gator board I have never been happy with the resulting SQ therefore the headphones have remained more or less unused for over two years. The headphone section of the BM redresses the balance in spades. I had no idea the Superlux's were such a capable product until yesterday evening and I have lost count of the number of albums I listened to, or for that matter what time it was when I eventually packed down to sleep. Never have I experienced a soundstage so wide and so deep through headphones. Listening to the second track on Third Worlds self-titled debut album, which contains a live, outdoor recording of tribal drums, you are suddenly transported to the African plains. All around you are the voices and general banter of African tribes people and right in front of you a fire is crackling away as the sound of feet swishing and dancing over the dusty ground underpins the entire scene, real movie magic for the ears is this.
The synergy that currently exists in this system is a joy to behold and if I was not quite so ill I would be very proud to show it off at Scalford Hall where I am absolutely certain it would turn quite a few heads. The unbelievable part is that I have achieved all this for relatively little outlay, some judicious wheeler dealing and the good grace of friends and members on this fine forum, and of that I think we can all be rightfully proud...
Hi folks, I haven't ventured on here for ages but to my shock, my new laptop does not have a s/pdif connection so in trying to find a solution to that (to connect to my modded 7510). To my shock my laptop has neither optical nor ps/pdif when I came across the Bushmaster aha, I thought, I will utilise usb but nope, I can't do that either :( ah what is a fella to do? I have a feeling that that the modded 7510 and the 7520 aren't too far apart so I don't want to invest in the usb 7520.
Get a USB to S/PDIF adapter. You can find them on eBay.
