Beresford Bushmaster DAC

[Jamtoast]

Wahoo! Mine is on it's way.
Wonder if I can claim to be the first antipodean to wrestle a Beresford Bushmaster?
We're quite big on jumping on crocodiles down here.

My foreign customers catch on very well. I have ways of making them understand .

Fair enough, then, Stan.

I think the icons look great!

[Russell Turner]

Stan are the 1st shipment run going to be the 1st "Tactical" front plate design?

And then the "Strategic" plate design will follow?

Nope. In order to avoid any confusion any redesign of the printing on the front panel will be left to a later date yet to be decided.

Just looked on the Home HiFi site and the Bushmaster in "as shown" livery looks OK to me. No prices though and the site seems to have links down Stan. I'm sure I've missed it but is there a definitive price as yet?

The new Dac looks good on the website Stan.
Well done


Looking forward to the reviews to come.

[wee tee cee]

I look forward to trying one myself.
If it can sonically play ball with a dedicated head phone amps and go toe to toe with respected dacs it could well be the dac equivalent of a well implemented t amp.
I look forward to hearing the thoughts of one of the seasoned vets once they have a couple of hundred hours on one.
Best of luck Stan.......

The edges of the unit (aka “clipping path” for the initiated) need to be revised. There’s a clearly visible jagged white border which does not match the light gray background.



I have the feeling that the horizontal edge of the DAC is not aligned perfectly, but slightly tilted down to the right.


When isolating product photos from unwanted backgrounds, the edges of the image should seamlessly merge into the background, like in this example.

Please allow me to add that my “exhausting Teutonic grip for detail” is a consequence of my profession: typesetting, book design, illustrations and image editing. People in this business are trained and accustomed to pay close attention to even the smallest details.

Presumably I sound like an “arrogant c*ck” again, but the edges of the unit (aka “clipping path” for the initiated) need to be revised.

Uhm no Werner we've moved on from that remember?
Lets keep it about the Dac my friend.

Nice one Gaz - for the benefit of the mods Werner is aware of my position on this
