Beresford Bushmaster DAC Reviews

[Pieoftheday]

Well the bushmaster is brilliant! Due to space constraints Ive hand to sell the monitor audio rs6 and go small,so I bought some Dali zensor1 as a stop gap cos they were cheap but sounded pretty good,however since hooking up the bm the dali's have shown they're metal,detail,clarity and good bass,a giant killer!who else could do that for less than£200, well bar stan..

I happen to own a pair of NS1000M speakers and they are widely reported to be bass shy below 50Hz. I can however confirm that those reports are widely off the mark and frankly slanderous, as my next door neighbour would be wiling to testify to in court .
Since I wired in a Bushmaster into my recently refurbished old skool Aiwa AA-8700 amp there have been rather weird knocking noises coming from the other side of our adjoining wall .

Hannah's words "sounds deeper and less harsh"
Currently I'm bowing to her 23 year old female ears ... But I think she may have a point!

It's amazing how popular that LED auto dimming function has turned out to be.

Yeah! It's mint that is ... I like it how it winks at you when you turn it in too!

My opinion so far ... Vs. the majik dsi
It's more showy! the sound stage and presentation is very different ... The linn welcomes you into the music, the bushmaster sorta projects it at you, it is more exciting to listen too!
I don't think I could say with any authority which is "better"! The bushmaster is easily as good as the linn, and Hannah would tell you it's better, and I think most listening to my system would agree with her... I just really like what the linn does and have done since the "Dynamik PSU" ... For me it's different and I think I would listen to one or te other dependant on mood really ... But that's with only maybe 5-6 hours on the BM.
I think the supprising thing about it is, without wanting to sound like I'm repeating what others have said ... It does the much more involving and "all there" bit without being a dick about it ... Ive heard a few dacs in my system that at first listen sound all exciting but then after a time you realise your being conned - the v-dac springs to mind - this thing gives you that initial excitement in the music then just keeps on giving it!

Listening to Imogen Heap 'speak for your self' on it at the mo and it sounds absolutely stunning!
