Liquid's posts scare me. I don't want to drop 2 bills on a DAC and not be able to hear the difference between it and my E-MU 0404 PCI. How could that be?
It is one persons opinion vs the majority. Think about that. Still, if you are not in a hurry, I will have mine back soon and be able to make a fairly definite judgment.
imho there's no way a 2ZS sounds the same as the 7510. sorry but there's something wrong with his setup or ears lol. I have an external 2ZS and it sounds horrid which is why it is an emergency backup to a backup lol.
if I have to, I will even set up the 2ZS like he has his and test it. I use my X-Fi coax bit-perfect as a transport normally.

Two posts from someone and you are scared already?
haha, yeah. I don't have loads of money for this expensive hobby I love. I stay away from these forums for months at a time, because every time I glance, without fail, I spend money.
Weird. Everyone hears different. The Zhalou and MD10 are both warmer to my ears than the 7510.
Any of those three dac are fine for the SA-5000. IWould just scoop up whatever you can afford atm.
liquid: try this. listen to the 7510 for a week and then switch back to the 2ZS and let us know what you think.
I'm going to try to get in touch with fierce. i believe he still has your DAC. I have the mkIII (soon to be upgraded though) and I'd like to do an AB with my zhaolu, my beresford, your beresford and whatever Jim has at the moment. I'll drive to his place if I have to... it's less than an hour

Great idea. He can even keep mine until you hear it if you like. I have my PS Audio Dac so I am in no hurry.

well, watever you guys end up doing, quit stalling and lets hear some reviews! i'm dyin' here! my 7510 is still sitting in the box it came in waiting to be shipped off for mods.

If you can do some sort of blind test between the modified DAC and the unmodified DAC, I think a lot of people would find that information very informative. I have the MKIII and I want to know if it is worth the trouble and money to send it back for the mod....

Nope. After burning in mine for a while, the MK6 with the mod is just something else in my system. It sounds now far better than my MK3 modded. I read something about the modded MK6 at http://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum7/15325-12.html. OK, comparing the modded MK6 to a DAC64 and X-Ray ain't really fair play price wise. But it just goes to show how high-end some testers have to go to before being able to find faults with the MK6 .
