Hi is the caimen worth the extra money compared to the 7520

What do u think? or is it just worth buying the standard 7520 then upgradeing it later on?

Thanks Mark

It is so little extra money (£50) you may as well take a punt.

Failing that, wait until WHF have reviewed the Caiman.

(Some of the Caiman mods will require soldering/electronics skills if you decide to do them yourself.)

Why not check their website?

£199.99 + VAT for the Caiman. (£230 rounding up the odd penny)

£149.99 + VAT for the TC-7520 (£172.50)

£57.50 difference, give or take the odd penny or two.

Shipping will cost the same for both.

Forgot about the VAT

Go for Caiman. Dac chip replacement with wolfson one is tricky, and it will cost a big part of price difference if you can not do it yourself. Plus opamps about 5-7 pounds. And probably there is more changes then dac chip and opamps. Maybe somebody who have both units can open them and compare?
