    Stan supplied the seg firmware/linear psu with the dorado i was confident you would be suitably impressed.

    great to get a perspective from you and Matt....younger ears with different musical tastes.

    always good to get another set of ears corroborate what you are hearing.
    What you gave me is exactly what I need for my headphone rig. I'll be purchasing very soon!

    Stan,

    have you considered a one box SEG with Dorado and linear power supply built in?

    It is already on my website as a package. The latest SEG even has the SEG-30 firmware already installed.

    Stan,

    I can see the bundle but I meant having all the components in a single case. With all my components the wiring setup is like a fettuccine dish!

    Maybe try a DIY solution. I picture a box with the front missing (so you can access power buttons and volume controls etc) and holes in the back for a few centimetres of cable to come out of. Your cable excess would sit in the box, out of sight

    I was thinking of a more radical approach involving an internal linear power supply to feed the Dorado. I think this would be something that many Beresford fans would go for. Super SEG so to speak!

    It would certainly be cleaner for a pro to build a device like that but there's something to be said for a homemade solution too.

    I'd jump at a Super SEG! haha

    Well thats the name sorted

    Stan, for the 5v 'Dorado' I believe you are working on will this be a one box implementation?

    i am about to pull the trigger on a 5v linear psu but i may hold out if your new design is the only box I'll need to power my rpi/digione.

    Klipsch KG4.5 Speakers with Titanium Diagphrams and Sonicap Cap upgrade
    110aH Leisure Battery powers the Mini-1 & Digione
