The Beresford is a small operation based of the UK. You can order directly with the manufacturer and he will ship to you in the US for US$40. Please follow the link shown below.

Kaushik:

Sunil from London, who is a member here, is a user of the Beresford. he says he certainly gets better quality when the Beresford is connected. I would request Sunil to give a more detailed reply.

Kaushik, if you don't see a post from Sunil in a day or two, I would suggest you send him a PM.

Cheers

Re: DAC's

test results GEFEN DAC :

overall sound quality ...is impressive [i under estimated by seeing the size of unit ].
more mid range and full bodied sound....tried with phil colins,eric clapton,some western classical ,pan pipes.etc ..sound is far better than AVR DAC!
with better DVDP sound will be even better i think.

the DAC was fed with pioneer Dv300s coaxial /optical both

so i suggest 1 dac +normal dvdp+a good amp n speakers all one needs to put nice stereo..setup

connection:
final analog output is fed to multi-ch inputs of AVR[only flat amplification..no DSp applied]

Cost and accessories:
cost rice +shipping=4000Rs
pack comes with
>SMPS 5v [100 to 230v]
>Co-axial cables
>Optical cable [main attraction..:]

Re: DAC's

Hello kaushik,

Interesting.

Can you please saher your views on the following A-B comparision :

1. Please state, each component used in yr system.

2. Now add the DAC, feeding it with the same CD source and running the DAC output to the rest of the same system.

In which areas is the sound better ?

By How much ?

Thanks

Re: DAC's

Components :
Pioneer DVD player DV 300S
Av reciever YAMAHA Rx-v361
Modified Bookshelf speakers [originally chinese made, added polycon Tweeteres and
PASSIVE X-O etc ]..

setup:

Normal : DVDP>AVR via co-axial /optical> bookshelves ...ok kind of sound having guitars/cymbal/purcussion instruments little less reaveled

with DAC:
DVDP>DAC via co-axial /optical> bookshelves..
full bodied sound[as compared to previous one] ...
acoustic guitars etc very alive ...as well as other instruments , bass is more smooth

i noted co-axial connection sounded better little bit ...

remember comments on sound is subjective matter..
check other places on the net to get a still better idea on that DAC ..
Kaushik
