Beta Beresford DAC 7510+

[Labarum]

I now have a Maplin power supply on my 6/4. It is better, but not on 13.5 v - the DAC seems to "overblow" and produce too much bass. 12v is good.

I two penneth: Standard package for newbies with standard PSU, option to have upgraded PSu or none.

I guess for the new "plus" the better power supply should be the standard package with the option of the cheaper supply, or none.

I am having a similar discussion here on the Squeezebox Forum where some folk use the Beresford DAC

And this thread also features Stan's DAC

I would have thought some comments from the beta testers would be made by now. They are keeping very quiet.
The standard 6/4 version is so good that it concerns me I might not be able to detect a difference with my humble little system. I'm looking around for a new power amp to replace my Tripath, this being a cheap and cheerful component. I want to try the 7510+ as a pre-amp as Stan suggests this is where its strength lies.
Its funny how changing one thing makes you change another.....

Maybe Jerry might do a write up once he has sorted out his buzzing transformers.

I've been listening at 13.5v the last couple of days. Went back to 12v today.

I must say I prefer the 12v. It seems to be less "in your face" and more "as it should be". My preference I guess.

If there's any Porcupine Tree fans out there, try "Even Less" off "Stupid Dream" at about 4.40 where there's a guitar break. Wait for the drum crash. Mine seems to come from out of the back of the wall.

Even without playing the actual PT song I can hear that very moment by heart.

And I only have a 6/3-version.

Nothing wrong with the 6.3. I still use one on my 3rd system.

Nothing wrong with it indeed, I love the sound of it every day.

But my weakness is that I can't stand upgrades that I don't own.

Just upgrade then. Simple.

Life is so simple.

It's my Birthday on Saturday 31st, everyday I have been thinking of the 7510+ since Xmas, Couldn't you make a 57yr old man very happy before his ears collapse & release it?
