Beresford Caiman is the accumulation of various modifications & the use of the latest high performance components that were proven to enhance the standard TC-7520.

Beresford Caiman is the first commercially available DAC to use some of these components, & the only 1 to incorporate so many of them all in one go.

Ea Beresford Caiman is individually modified & assembled by hand, before undergoing a test session. Such level of workmanship is unheard of in the DAC market at this price level. But it ensures that each 1 of the limited quantity production run is built to the highest standard & care.

Class-A headphone amplifier circuit.
The new generations of high-end headphones have up to now only been able to operate properly on expensive stand-alone headphone amplifiers. Inbuilt headphone amplifier is designed to drive even the latest range of high-end headphones & reproduce musical detail that these new headphones are capable of.

Dedicated Caiman power supply. ----OPTIONAL PSU@ $49.00/each.

Caiman circuitry benefits from a better PSU that can deliver the higher current discharge rate & voltage swing demanded by wide dynamic range & complex musical passages.The Caiman PSU delivers an additinonal 3Volts Peak to Peak of supply headrooom. The result is firmer and deeper bass, more detailed midrange, & greater soundstage in the treble region.


For Mac users using the optical output found behind the 3.5mm stereo socket, we have the special optical adaptor in stock@ $5.00/each.

The Beresford TC-7510 is an uncomplicated D to A Converter with design features offering the ideal solution for the modern day high technology home hi-fi or multi-media environment.

Most D to A converters are aimed at the CD and DVD audiophiles. The TC-7510 has however been designed for a broader range of application & has been further optimized for accurate PC & wireless digital audio reproduction. That includes wireless servers such as the SB3, Airport Express, DAB radio, & satellite audio.

Beresford TC-7520 is an uncomplicated D to A Converter w/cutting edge design features that offer affordable solutions for the modern day high technology home hi-fi or multi-media environment.

Most D to A converters are aimed at the CD and DVD audiophiles. The TC-7520 has however been designed for a broader range of application & has been further optimized for accurate PC & wireless digital audio reproduction. That includes wireless servers such as the SB3, Airport Express, DAB radio, satellite audio, & internet radio streams.

The TC-7520 is a 4 inputs audio DAC with 24bit/96KHz digital input capability. It has two re-clocking circuits, compared to none or just one on other DACs on the market. One re-clocking circuit handles just the incoming USB data. This is to prevent us having to design a compromised clock with multi purpose ability. The results from the TC-7520 must rate as one of the best available from any USB DAC at any price. A second re-clocking circuit handles the SPDIF signals. The resulting detail in even 128kbs mp3 files is even better than many CD/DVD only capable DACs.

The LINE output stage of the TC-7520 consists of a fixed output & a variable output. The fixed output should be connected to a preamp or integrated amp. The Variable output allows the TC-7520 to be used as a preamp.

The headphone amp is a completely new design & can hold its own against stand alone headphone amplifiers costing several times the price of the TC-7520. Extensive research has allowed us to design a headphone amp that does not produce that boomy midhead sound of conventional headphone amps. Neither does it produce the lack of bass & signal cancellation side effects of a cross-feed headphone amplifier. What the TC-7520 headphone amp does do is produce one of the best soundstage with outstanding detail & excellent headphone load handling ability. Its almost binaural response sounds far more natural & involved than a cross-feed design.

Analog Audio:
Separate Left & Right audio ICs are behind the audio capabilities of the TC-7520 headphone amp. This is only used for the headphone amplifier output. Audio to the external headphone & line outputs is not processed this way, only level control is adjustable in the digital domain for these ports. A ¼” headphone socket is driven by a dedicated headphone amplifier, which is a highcurrent amplifier that is capable of driving a wide variety of headphone loads, & even outperforms many external headphone amps costing more than a complete TC-7520. The Volume Control sets the output level of the headphone socket. It can also be used to control the output level of the Variable RCA analog outputs. The TC-7520 is designed to connect directly to power amps & powered speakers in order to provide the cleanest & shortest path from digital to monitor output.

Audio for the stereo headphone socket & stereo line output sockets are all treated separately. This means that the two types of outputs are separately amplified & there should be no interaction with loading on the various ports.
However the audio output to all analog outputs are the same. You cannot send 1 audio feed to the headphones & another to the line output, both will always play the same audio.

The analogue audio output stage & headphone amplifier operates in Class A. This means that there is no crossover distortion in the audio output, which results in a fuller & better dimensioned sound. The TC-7520 cost versus performance is more in the hi-end league.

The cleverly designed analogue layout helps to maintain minute details, depth, & punch in the information retrieval of the digital audio signal. We have also paid great attention to sound stage & sonic depth, giving the TC-7520 audio performance levels that were previously only available from similar products costing several times the price of the TC-7520.

The unique Virtual DC power supply is largely to thank for the leap in performance. The two part external & internal power supply supports all international voltages & has generous margins for over and under voltage conditions.
