Hi, using a "modded" Caiman here (See AOS Forum for details..) with my new Touch, used it previoulsy with my SB Classic..
I use a coax rather than an Optical link as I found co-ax to be better sounding. One thing ive noticed about the Beresford is that it can show up differences in whatever is fed into it quite easily.. For instance my Touch is obviously a much better digital transport than my SB3..sounds very much better. Also, while I was waiting on my Touch arriving, I had sold my SB3 and was using my DVD player playing MP3s through the Beresford. Have to say..going from this to my Touch was quite the revelation. So if your happy as you are (and you WILL be :)) co-ax into the Caiman is the way to go...use Fixed outputs not the variable ones unless you are running the Dac as a preamp into a Power Amp. Oh, and I would give your new Dac a few weeks (Id say 6) to fully "run in", as the sound you get at the start is very different from 6 weeks on. Further down teh line you can upgrade the Dac with different Opamps (easy job) or more hard core mods like upgrading the Output caps and Regulators (hard!) Hope this helps Gaz. -- Gazjam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gazjam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78036 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
