Caiman MKII GFU

Home HiFi

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.

Digital Audio at its best

The Beresford Caiman MKII GFU takes the standard Caiman to greater heights for an even more dynamic and foot tapping sound. The GFU upgrade adds a more sustained weight to the bass frequency, a far more analogue midrange and treble response, and an increase in dynamic range with a lower noise floor. This produces a warmer, less clinical sound.The already outstanding signal separation and wide soundstage is now more lifelike, filling your room with a wall of sound from even small bookshelf speakers. The Caiman with GFU has increased the entertaining presentation of the Caiman.

Audio bits and sampling rate

The Caiman MKII GFU (Gator Firmware Update) makes use of the improved DAC decoding ability to add even more realism to the sound, and an added layer of detail. The more generous 32 Bit dynamic range overhead and higher 768fs sampling rate also reduces signal compression and clipping from the original source material.  

Power supply options

The Caiman is also an extremely energy efficient DAC. It can therefore be powered by not only its own 12V power supply, But also by alternative 12V sources of power such as batteries and solar cells.

Power supplies and energy efficiency

The Caiman MKII GFU 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 GFU from a 12Volt battery pack, or even a 12V/1W solar panel, instead of the included mains power supply.
