Let me point out a couple of things. I have decided to part with the Beresford after having performed extensive comparisons with the BM's DAC1. And to be honest Beresford held up well as a DAC. Yes, it had a different sonic signature to DAC1; some instruments (eg percussion, bass) have felt more pronounced and separated; So maybe a meatier / juicier sound than the DAC1; however, at much louder listening volumes DAC1 was becoming a winner - distortion-free sound became more apparent; The 7520 is definitely not as good as DAC1 when it comes to HeadAmp & Preamp sections; But as a DAC - it's pretty impressive. I was able to use DAC1’s Headamp to test the 7520’s DAC by connecting them with analogue RCAs (DAC1 HDR is also a preamp with analogue inputs). I am keeping DAC1 for its DAC/PRE/Headamp quality combo + XLR output + HDRs remote functionality; well, one should not forget its X10 price tag over the 7520! Hope that puts things into perspective.
