Has anyone heard both of these? Couldn't find a single post comparing the two on the message board. I know both units have alot of owners.

I am leaning toward the TC-7510 mainly because it has two sets of analog outputs. Plus it looks cool

I just realized I put this on the wrong board. Sorry.

Depends on what your looking for, I choose the Zero because it also has a really good amp, especially with some new opamps.

i ended up choosing the beresford, but i really dont know whitch one is best.
to many "fanboys" and giantkiller rumors to take any reviews seriously.
quite happy with it though

I have both.

If you are just looking for the Dac part I don’t find that much different between the both.
Having said that, I do like the Zero more because it’s more dynamic than the Beresford.
Now, I can only tell because I have them both connected to the same Amp (LD Mk V) so I could answer your question.
Also I have the OPA 627BP’s in the Zero Dac , they are a big improvement over the stock opamps.
I don’t think the Beresford is a bad amp at all, but I find the Zero to be slightly better.

For the Amp part however it’s a totally different story. The Zero is way better than the Beresford IMO.
The Zero drives my K701’s much better more detail, soundstage and tighter bass.
But normally I don’t use the Amp section on both, so I don’t really care much about that.

My absolute favorite combination at the moment is the Zero->LD MK III->K701.

I won't use either Dac as an amp at all. Just looking for the best dac. Thanks for the opinions though.

Well in case of only a dac, your poll was succesfull, because they are pretty much equal.

I would throw the Keces into the poll as well.

That thing looks sweet. No nonsense.

I looked at Keces as well but the 151 is USB only and the 131 is out of my price range for the time being..
