Mod your Beresford 7520

[leo]

Is this pic any clearer

Looking back at the other pic it seems the pins Tirna use are even longer than these

[mwahahaha]

Can't really do any better than the email I just had from Alan@Tirna -

"Hi,

A customer of ours has pointed out that the Dual Op amp Beresford DAC upgrade does not allow the Beresford case to close on it, the adaptor is sitting too high.

If you have a problem with it fitting in the case, please return it to us, and we will try to solve the problem (which we are working on now).

We will refund the cost of sending it to us through PayPal, and if we cannot solve the problem than we will issue a full refund of the original amount paid.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused,

Regards,
Alan Dripps,
Tirna Electronics Ltd."

More info on the Tirna 4032 package:

I emailed them today after I received my chips and explained the situation to them. They replied and said that they are holding all current orders and asking people who have received their order to send it back. They also said that they have sent me a modified version with shorter pins and the cap mounted on the back. I'm going to liaise with them to help them perfect the design. I'll post more details when I get the new version.

Edit: Opps, must remember to refresh page before posting. Thanks Dan. I guess I'm the customer Alan mentioned, cool.

Excellent! thanks for helping us all out by ironing out the design with them. I'll hang onto mine with the lid off until there's a new working design ready to go and then get it swapped over (Don't want to go back to the others now!)

Thanks again
Dan

I'm currently evaluating some of these in another dac after another forum member gave them high praise.
Have you tried them yourself yet?

No problem. I'm going to hang onto mine until I get the replacements.

Hi,

There will be a delay of a few days in sending your order, as we are looking into a problem pointed out by a previous customer regarding clearance height of the adaptor board in the Beresford DAC.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Good service I'd say!
