First impressions:

Build quality is a step up from the Caimen, I like the front panel and the sleep mode LED’s

Streaming from a heavily modified Squeezebox with 16/44.1 the sound is very clean and detailed. There’s no harshness that I can detect, the balance is just right from top to bottom. Bass is very good, it’s a very engaging DAC to listen to, tone is spot on.

Compared to my modified passive Caimen it brings detail to the fore that the Caimen sort of masks…its there but just not that well defined. The Caimen is a little lean in comparison and doesn’t have the same bounce or drive as the Bushmaster. On some tracks the difference can be quite small but the Bushmaster is never second best.

Not noticed any burn in change, its as good 30hrs later as it was 20mins in…its very good Stan well done….

One question: I take it the Caimen PSU is compatible with the Bushmaster @15v? I might try it later…
