Any Digital Impressions of the Caiman yet?

[Simon P]

I'd actually just saved up for a 7520, and then I read about the Caiman. I didn't have to think too hard about which to buy

My Caiman turned up this morning - speedy dispatch too! Thanks Stan

I don't have a 7510 or 7520 to compare it to I'm afraid. Obviously it needs to be run in, but for what it's worth I plumbed it in and had a listen on my Denon AHD-5000s, and I already know that I won't be sending it back. I'm very impressed so far and I'm intrigued to hear what it will be like once it has run in.

It's now being fed a loop of reasonably diverse (well for me at least) music to run in properly;

Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean
Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks
James Brown - The Payback
Gil Scott Heron - Pieces of a Man
Miles Davis - A Kind of Blue
Dave Brubeck - Time Further Out
The Headhunters - God Made Me Funky
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Jimi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic
Carl Craig - More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art
Basic Channel - E2E4 Basic Reshape
Kraftwerk - Autobahn
TVO - The Dark is Rising
Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place
Arovane - Tides
Isan - Recently in the Sahara
Wendy Carlos - A Clockwork Orange
Erik Satie - Gnossienes (6) for piano; 1. Lent
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country

If I play the music on fast forward - will the DAC burn in quicker?
