Stan's New Dac - any reviews yet?

[StanleyB]

Which version of the tc-7510 is being trampled on? i ve read very good reviews about the tc-7510 6/4 compared to the 6/3.

The 6/4 shares some of the improvements that are in the TC-7520. But compared to the 6/3 and before, there is no contest.

jake,

you don't happen to be living anywhere near the London, Surrey, berkshire area do you?

i'd be interested in setting up a Dacmagic v 7520/7510 face off

I am in North London and can loan a TC-7520 out to anyone trustworthy and impartial who wishes to do a face off against any other DAC at any price below £2K.oNly the Chord64 and the Zanden scare me...

Hi Stan, the new improved dac sounds very tempting... will you be offering a service where 'old' models can be sent to you and brought up to spec rather than buying the new model? Do you have a rough idea of cost? cheers, Fraser

"I will be comparing the DAC with my colleagues £1000 DAC in the next few months. I will write up our thoughts after that. I won't pre-empt the results but I'm sure that the 7520 won't sound out of place in the comparison....."


Now THATS what I'm talking about!

Stan, can you give me £1000 please?

I can bring older models up to MK6/4 spec to a certain extent. £25.
The TC-7520 is NOT a TC-7510 with USB. So the TC-7510 can never be brought up to the same spec at any cost.

LOL gaz, i know i know...

Ok thanks for clearing that up, i'll start saving my pennies

I would like to read a thorough review (blind test) between the new DACmagic, TC-7510 MK6/4 and the new TC-7520 to be compared only as a pure DAC with a few (3->) different high grade systems in some well made acoustical environment. The hq HP amp is for my use only a bonus in the TC-7520, but that would not be heavily valued when making the decision (so little HP use these days here).

The TC-7520 is NOT a TC-7510 with USB.

Is there any chance of a 7510 with a USB - is there a DIY mod or a return to Stan option to get a USB fitted ?

I could happily sacrifice a co-ax for a USB to make my 7510 even better?

Or is this just not worth the money and I just need to keep saving ...

I am working on that.
