The room, suspended floor over subspace void with laminate flooring, and it's square. It's like an effects box for crap bass.

Probably the interconnects. As much as I want a TCS, I would probably be better off investing in some TIS to connect both the phono 2 and my dac to the P90SA.

Worst bit, the beresford to 7510 dac. Its not up to the standard of rest of it. But then its a budget dac so what do I expect.
But that's OK, I dont use digital very much at all. Cant remember the last time I turned it on to be honest

My cheap Chinese £50 DAC will see off that Beresford with no problem.

I'm sure it would, they are nice little dacs. I keep thinking about getting one of those, and then end up buying some old turntable instead
Just can't see the point in spending anything at all on something i just don't use

To be fair that's a really old Beresford, his original DAC I believe? The latest Caiman SEG's are much better IMO, however my 2nd hand Yiang Sheng DAC-01 that I bought off another forum for £90 sees off the Caiman quite comfortably. Top class build and a very fine headphone amp as well.

I will bake off this Chinese thingy against the latest Beresford with pleasure - letting reality out is always a good thing.
