Hi there,
I found this forum after visiting TAOS forum.
My name is Patrick and I am 67 and living in Antrim Northern Ireland.
My current hifi set up consists of
Denon PMA-400 integrated amp
Denon TU-300 Tuner
Novafidelity X12 CD ripper/streamer
Project Carbon Black turntable
Beresford Caiman 2 DAC gator/venom modified
Jamo Power 100 speakers
I stumbled upon a Bushmaster some time back and have closely followed the forums on the subject of evolution and upgrading of these Beresford DACs.
I find it rather unique that there is a DAC designer out there who is involved with getting feedback from end users and then continuously improving the product. I think it is great and I don't know of any other organisations doing this kind of thing so openly.
After having already owned 2 of Stan's fine products, I recently purchased a secondhand Caiman 2 with 12v linear PSU from someone who is obviously a fan of Stan's work and had modified the DAC with the firmware and gator/venum upgrades. Can't think what possessed him to sell it but I am not complaining.
I love the clarity, depth and 3D effect that this DAC produces. I am enjoying my music even more now.
I tend to listen to internet music using the Novafidelity X12 player. The quality and clarity of the music is great even though it is streaming MP3 at 128kbps. The Novafidelity X12 is a very underated player IMHO.
The Denon copes well with the Caiman with no problems.
Thanks for your time
Patrick
