    I think he does - Since i had time to find my toslink I have been playing all my mp3's flac's apple lossless, files from my iMac thru this wonderful TC 7520 out thru one of Howard Popek's made up cables, made hot by iTube 182, audioquest blue to an old pair of TDL2 trans lne speakers!! everything i threw at it was played so much better with definition, separation & loads of "feeling" Quoting James Brown "I feel good" i thought when i paid the pennies , am i wasting money........ No I haven't ..... I am listening thru the ears of a 16yr old teenager again with Jimi Hendrix "Are you Experienced " playing as I've never heard before.
    Thank you Stan for bringing music back to me again & thanks to this forum for introducing the Beresford DAC 7520

    I thought when I was designing the TC-7520, am I wasting my time? would people risk spending nearly £200 on a DAC from my stable after getting accustomed to the low price of the TC-7520? Would I be able to further underline my claims that my design can make even wireless files and mp3 sound far better than any other DAC out there? Could I come up with a USB circuit that could rival even the most expensive USB DAC in terms of musicality? Was it possible to develop a heaphone circuit that could hold its own against the best stand alone headphone amps? And all that for under £200???

    And I think you were aiming for considerably less that £200, but with the falling pound, and importation of component costs . . .

    Sounded great at the show, particularly when it 'moved house' onto the QS Ref stand
