    Dabbling again, minor tweak to my previous...thinking in terms of colour balance?
    No change of current components (which Stan has no doubt bought in by the bucket load) apart form change of LED colour.
    Good thing is the blue ones he has probably already bought prepping for manufacture can still be used for the Caiman

    *EDIT*
    The blue LEDs seperated the gold on the volume knob and the select button. Looking again this maybe gave it a better balance?
    Too much gold now and no matching blue LEDs for the rest of your kit! Dunno, anyways its just for fun

    Hiya Tom, welcome aboard mate.
    Stan welcomes discussion of his products on here so its cool.
    Werners given his opinion like the rest of us which is fine too I'd say.
    He's also apologised for any (unintentional) offence those delicate souls might have suffered.

    Its easy to forget I guess there's folk from all over on AOS and sometimes we can be separated by the same language!

    Mmm, fair enough Werner, I apologise . I supect the triple disadvatage of posting in a foreign language, being blunt and direct by nature and disliking smilies greatly increases the risk of your posts being misunderstood but that's your choice - you're a big boy and I'm sure you can handle any misunderstanding that might occur.
    I seem to recall you threatening to withdraw from AoS a short while ago because you were unhappy with some of the responses some of your posts received? .
    Please stick around, as others have requested, as your posts are inciteful and greatly appreciated but please don't get upset when you receive equally blunt responses.
    Cheers,
    Dave.

    Stan's previous dac was called the caiman which is some kind of tropical crocodile. The Bushmaster is a kind of viper snake, continuing the reptilian theme I guess.

    The 7520 however is a small rabbit. Just kidding.

    Despite the comments getting a bit sharp there are, I think, some valid points about the design. The original looked old fashioned and cluttered. All the alternatives are better IMHO but Werner's looks very upmarket and professional. I would prefer the words Beresford and Bushmaster to be in the same typeface as the input selectors though.
