Mod your Beresford 7520

Well I fitted my 4032 last night and couldnt tear myself aware from it. I dont see how you can get much better than this.

I agree. The 4032 is superb. I would be up for a 7520 SE (Wolfson DAC & 4032) if Stan eventually decides to offer one.

... But on the TC-7520 with the THS4032 for line output and LM4562NA for headphone output it's going to be hard to beat.

Stan.. why do you prefer the 4562 on the HPA? Is it particularly suited to your AKG 701s and you might choose differently if you had Sennheisers? Just curious, as I have two 4562s and maybe should have Tirna just send one 4032 back instead of two.

Can anyone show a pic of how to install the newer 4032 (just a pic of it sitting in the socket) so I don't screw it up when it comes?

I'm an electronic mega-dunce and I've just used Stan's photo on page 35 of this thread as my guide to which way up - his left-hand opamp is the 4032. You'll need good eye-sight though, the chip is absolutely tiny!

On the board you can see a small white arrow pointing to pin 1. This is in the top right hand corner on the board in the picture above.

I've stuck the 4032 back in after a week listening to the LT1364's. Straight away the sound is better.

Anyone noticed the other mods on my PCB?

Aye, the connections at the top aren't too clear though Stan?

There's a couple of big lumpy things stuck on it?

Thanks guys.

Stan.. about the two chips vs. the HPA? (see above)
