Caiman MKII
Input and Output connections
The Caiman MKII input options are
USB, TOSLINK, and digital COAX.
The output is a stereo RCA
connection. This output can be
switched between a fixed CD level
signal, or to an adjustable output suitable for power amplifiers or
active speakers.
Taking digital audio to the next level
The Beresford Caiman MKII
Digital to Analogue Converter is
capable of reproducing music
even down to the difficult to
decode timbre level of both
vocals and musical instruments by reducing decoding errors and
power supply induced noise. The outstanding signal separation
and three dimensional playback of the music also comes to the
fore through the removal or avoidance of circuit design
bottlenecks. Our highly advanced ultra low noise circuit layout has
made it even possible to discard the use of muting relays or
muting transistors in the audio signal path.
These simple design steps deliver a more entertaining natural and
warm sounding analogue playback that revealing and High-End
audio amplifiers and speakers would greatly benefit from.
Power supplies and energy efficiency
The Caiman
MKII is also an
extremely
energy efficient
DAC, which has
allowed us to
make it
compatible with alternative energy sources.
You can power the Caiman MKII from a
12Volt battery pack, or even a 12V/1W
solar panel, instead of the included mains
power supply.
Power Supply News
The Caiman can now also
be bought without a power
supply at a lower cost.
This is an often asked for
request from customers
who already have their
own 12Volt power supply,
or are thinking of buying
an alternative power
supply instead.
Audio bits and sampling rate
The Caiman MKII advanced level of
performance also makes it possible to recover
and hear previously hidden audio signals,
giving your music collection a new lease of
life.
The more generous 32 Bit dynamic range
overhead and higher 768fs sampling rate also reduces signal
compression and clipping from the original source material.
The Caiman MKII has further been optimized for the decoding and
playback of all the common and popular audio file formats, giving
you complete peace of mind and freedom to listen to your music to the
highest possible quality level that your audio system is technically
capable of. The Caiman MKII is the ultimate complete, but affordable,
DAC in terms of technical breakthrough and innovation.
