I really wasn't trying to say that the Beresford doesn't sound "good", since as you say, I haven't heard it. What I was trying to do is caution the OP against thinking that Duet's DAC can be so easily and cheaply bettered. If, as you state, the Beresford is a real giant killer, then great but all too often in the world of audio people end up spending large sums of money only to get marginal, if any, improvement. Spending money is easy, spending the same money *wisely* is much harder. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52848 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
