What specific accusation are you leveling against your Caiman, or have you never owned one?
Have you not read on my website or gathered from the feedback given by Bushmaster owners so far how it is possible to now buy a DAC at the affordable end of the market that doesn't have most if not all of the negative attributes so much associated with digital music in general, or its reproduction by the majority of DACs out there?
A troll? I've been around this forum long enough and enjoy it's discussions and reviews of music and all kinds of equipment, some of which I have no intention of buying, such as turntables and high end amps and such like, but I enjoy the chat nonetheless, so you can take that back if you don't mind.

Let me put my comment into context here;

My confusion is why am I not getting similar rendition from the Bushmaster, i.e., why is the Bushmaster reproducing these metal chimes as if they're bamboo chimes?
Magic's previous DAC is a Caiman. So, when you said this:

...I was a little surprised. No, I do not own a Caiman but have read many reviews on here about it, both out of the box and modded, and most owners speak very highly of it, hence my surprise at your suggestion that Magic had become accustomed to a harsh digital sound.

If that is the case and you have overcome this with the BM then great.

Again, I thought my comment was quite clear but maybe I should've put it into context, however, it is certainly not trolling.
