One thing that some people have an issue with is the case. I found a company and software that can help you to design your own case. The software is fee of charge, and the company uses your drawing to make the new case. See

If any of you decide to embark on that venture, please post the case file you designed.

This is the US division (I guess) of Schaeffer who I got both my CD player case parts made, plus my DAC case.
Excellent company, great service. The software is good, all design is done with their cad package, then you just enter you delivery address and payment details and click the button and a week later you get your parts, all laminated onto cardboard! I bought from Schaeffer in Germany but I guess the site Stan linked to is the equivalent in the US.
Cheers,

Is anyone using anything like the Theta TLC or the Trichord Pulsemaster before the Beresford?

Would this be necessary? I was under the impression Stan's DAC reclocks the signal on it's own.

Spot on. And in the USB DAC the USB is also reclocked by its own separate clock so that... ahem.Originally Posted by Ali Tait

That saves me rummaging in the garage then. I've got an old TLC in a box somewhere.
Stan, I was looking at the pfm reply to the PSU and see you recommend running the Maplin PSU at 13.5v. Any reason for this? I have mine running at 12v?

Not tried it myself yet,but peeps have said the DAC sounds better at the slightly higher voltage.

I have preferred mine run at 13.5 vdc .
Got around to doing the Mod21 yesterday afternoon - I'm soak running the DAC at the moment, but when things settle down I'll give 12 vdc another go and see which one I prefer.
