Beresford Bushmaster DAC

I have to say the silver one looks far more expensive than the black!

It is more expensive to make as well.

This is spot for me.

actually thinking on about it I think the term semi passive could infer to many thats its not as good as it could be ie fully passive would be technically better. How about removing the term semi/fully all together and just leave it as passive
this would have the added benefit of making the text length shorter and not extending outside the width of the main body of the Bushmaster text

Hi Tiago

Please would you go to the Welcome area and introduce yourself before posting any further? This was requested in your activation e-mail. Thank you.

I think it might be best to leave "passive" off the front panel where it might be mis-understood.

The term can be used in the advertising and the manual where it can be explained.

And the less words on the panel, the better.

As mentioned before on a couple of occasions the front fascia is capable of being swapped over. Since it will take some time to get any new text layout from design to production print I shall keep in mind that early buyers of the Bushmaster may wish to try upgrade their fascia with a new look one.

Stanley,

please allow me to ask an important question: Is is possible to slightly change the vertical positions of the various elements on the front face, or are there any technical or production related issues which prevent doing this?

From a pure aesthetical point of view I highly would appreciate if these elements were aligned in a more pleasing way.

Kind regards,

Werner.

The location and positioning of the different parts are dictated by the clearance and height of the mounting position on the PCB. So it is impossible to move the holes of the power switch, source select, headphone socket,and volume control and higher or lower.
It is possible to move the LEDs higher, but not lower.
Repositioning of the holes for the power, source, headphone, volume along the horizontal plane is possible, but one reason for their location is tied to safety, emission approval and noise rejection. So you can't have the headphone socket or volume control too close to the power switch. And you can't have the LEDs too close to the volume control for noise rejection reason.

Of course, any frontal layout change would dictate a complete new PCB layout and CE/EMC certification.

I see, thanks a lot for your answer. Stay tuned for more within the next 24 hours.
