Beresford Bushmaster DAC Reviews

OMG! hahaha! what a donut! Chucklin like hell here, can't believe I did that lolol Well spotted....not! lolol

my current dac uses twin WM8741 chips, which i believe are "supposed" to be superior to the ones in the bushmaster (please correct me if i am wrong). does this mean there is no point in me trying a comparison between the two units?

There's more to a DAC than the main chip.

Exactly! the design is as important as the components used.

Stan is a clever whatsit...he's made mine sound better than it did before :eyebrows: but he's a bit coy as to how :D First class customer service, thank you Stan, its appreciated. :cool:

What is acoustic comparison between Passive Caiman - Bushmaster?

Have someone listen both of them?

Yes, I have both. The Bushmaster has considerably finer detail, bigger soundstage and more extended bass. I would say they are much closer in dynamic capability, but the BM wins in microdynamics.

Thanks Martin for the answer.

I guess, you had equation output level between the two devices (the one has 1.1Vrms and the other has 2.0Vrms) before listening?

Otherwise the Bushmaster higher output will give more extensive and better low frequencies & microdynamics.

- Sorry for my english :rolleyes:

I don't do A/B testing like that, Manolis, so the relative levels make no difference. I listen extensively to a component in order to evaluate it.

Now that the Caiman is connected to my PC, I can still hear its traits quite clearly.

Second what Martin said. Will also add there's greater texture and separation to the presentation vs passive Caimen...
