Beresford Caiman vs Little Dot DAC_II - advice please

Hi,

Ive been looking to upgrade to a decent USB DAC which has a headphone amp built in, as im a bit tight on cash. Im looking on spending >£200.

So far ive narrowed it down to the Beresford Caiman and the Little Dot DAC_II - both of which seem to have mainly rave reviews.

The headphones they will be driving are my HD 650's which I have fallen in love with.

 

I know that Beresford is a bit of a dirty word on these forums, but at the moment I am only interested in the performance of the DAC's.

Which one would you recommend, or do you know of any others in my price range that are worth considering?

 

Thanks for your help :)

hello :) i think you should consider some products from audio-gd like Fun and C-2, price is similar, and those are much better build quality, doesn't seem like C-2 has USB input, but Fun sure does, check them out here:

Thanks alot for your reply :) Never heard of audio-gd, they seem to make pretty decent equipment - however they are a little out of my price range. But I might have to sacrifice a little extra cash if it will be worth it
