    I've had the Dorado and SEG30 upgrades since last Friday. The main differences pre upgrade are 1. separation of artists/instruments 2 rhythm and melody easier nofollow than before. Is this all in my head????? Orchestral classical is next week.
    Did I mention silence? If a single instrument recording plays in a darkened room. Ooooooh!
    Oh well, time to start on the favourite tunes list, again!!!
    Using a Cambridge Azur 752 BD to play CDs/BDs. All connections Optical.
    Full marks to Stan.

    The Dorado can be used on any of Bushmaster or Caiman DACs, irrespective of which mods are already installed. The Dorado and SEG-30 firmware sort out signal separation, lower the noise floor, and increase the dynamic range.

    If you have the supercap mod as well, then you are half way there with the requirements for the temperature control CMOS clock mod. That improves PRaT (pace, rhythm, and timing). The clock mod adds more depth to the sound when used in combination with the Dorado and the SEG-30. The main reason for that seems to be due to the reduction in jitter.
