i left both mine running in the office system at low volume for a week... just turning it up when i went to do some work! that worked pretty well .. that said to me the main difference was after about a day! after that any difference was negligable in the cicumstances i was using it! others report different but it depends on circumstance and how much note you are taking of the sound on a day to day basis! as mine were in my office system i was always working when i was listening so my consentration was else where!

Call me thick ,but is it possible to connect the Caimen up to my Nad CD/AMP without useing the coaxial ,so i can use the headphone side instead of the one built in to the nad

My Project has 2 inputs to take a signal from the tape out

Thanks Mark

Now going back to what I wrote several replies ago; the DAC and the power supply each have their own part number and cost in our accounting system. The invoices are created based on what has to be shipped. That means DAC plus power supply. If you feel cheated and that I sold you the DAC far more expensive than is listed on the invoice, please send it back and I shall refund you the cost of your purchase plus the cost of the return postage for you to send the DAC back. I prefer a satisfied former customer than an unsatisfied existing customer.

useing coaxial out of the cd player wont effect the headphone amp on board you amp/cd player.. the amp in the dac in better though anyway!

So basicly u cant use the Caimens headamp without going through the dac,incidently what actually comes out of the single coaxial out on the back of my NAD cd player

the coax out on your cd player is a digital output
dac - digital to analogue converter - digital inputs and analoge outputs
you cd player has a dac in it
the beresford is an external dac that is more than likely better than the one in your nad cd player
