Beresford Bushmaster DAC

I'm not normally into silver, but that pic above looks stunning in my opinion. Oh gawd Stan, you've even got me tempted

[DaveK]

I am even thinking of making the control software opensource, or at least publish the function of the pins on the microcontroller. So those far smarter than me can come up with some alternative coding and added functionality.

Stan,
I personally think that would be a great idea, a sort of two edged sword. It would, IMHO, appeal to potential new customers who enjoy 'improving' manufacturers stock products (thinking of Logitech Touch et al here) and any that did take up that option and posted their results would spread the Bushmaster word to parts that other marketing cannot reach .
You might lose a bit of control over that aspect, which I'm sure you've thought about, but stand to gain greater sales in return.
There again, I've never run my own business so my opinion may not be worth much
Cheers,
Dave.

Show me the money .

Put my name down for one of those please Stan!

I prefer that silver look too, for what it's worth.

This does look better, but it may be due to the contrast of black text on silver vs white text on black before.

Also the lighter, silver colour reveals the brushed effect more.

The silver looks great. Not too fussed about the colour of the power switch. Interchangeable front panel not a bad idea but would mean that Stan has to keep a stack of differnt panels in stock which would increase costs to no end, especially if more people preferred a certain finish over another in stock, IMO. Some DVD-drive manufacturers actually supply a beige and black front panel with their units to match the chassis case used

The silver looks great. Just lose the black on/off knob and replace it with one the same colour as the bigger one on the right, or perhaps a chrome one - job done (unless you want to change the Bushmaster font)!

Been keeping all my boxes black this far, but I could easily live with the silver.

But why the red LED?

Simple power on / off rocker on the back of the case and the headphone input where the switch was?

an amalgam of your silver fascia and werners typography and a subdued blue led colour would look pretty cool i think, the big black power switch looks plain wrong and the fewer words the better. as previously mentioned, less is more, so the symbol for headphones and on/off would improve matters (in my opinion obviously).

i'm with werner on emoticons (loathe them) and people adding to/editing your own replies too. a big no-no
