Asynchronous SPDIF to I2S signal transfer
  In order to correct timing and data speed transfer errors the TC-7535 
  uses a asynchronous buffer with a length of 1024 bits to take care of 
  time period related errors.
  Direct Coupled Line Output Stage
  This allows the Caiman SEG to operate down to 1Hz. The Caiman 
  SEG is therefore also suitable for DVD audio application, which can 
  go down to 5Hz or lower.
  High Current Class A-B headphone circuit
  The Caiman SEG headphone amplifier circuit is designed to drive 
  even the latest high-end headphones and reproduce musical detail that 
  these headphones are capable of. A generous signal headroom 
  overhead, low noise circuitry, and high output current ability are key 
  factors that make the headphone output on the Caiman SEG a major 
  talking point with existing owners.
  LED dimming during music playback function
  The Caiman SEG has a LED dimming function that can be set to 
  operate when there is music playing. So that way you can make sure 
  that no LED noises can bleed into the sound.
  12 Volt power supply option
  Due to the highly efficient design and low energy requirement placed 
  on the power supply, the Caiman SEG is capable of operating from a 
  12Volt battery source. 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. The basic DAC includes a desktop power supply. 
  Power supply upgrades are recommended. 
 
 
 
 
 
  
DC Linearizer Low Noise Filter
  External DC power supplies are a known source of RF noise. Our 
  own unique DC Linearizer circuit transforms almost all of that RF 
  noise into a clean DC voltage. The result is then fed to a Low Drop 
  Out regulator circuit. The result is a crystal clear and warm analogue 
  sound with excellent musical detail.

  Low jitter Crystal controlled receiver chip
  The Caiman SEG uses a crystal controlled receiver with one of the 
  lowest jitter performances possible from a receiver chip. At 50ps few 
  other DACs can match or surpass the Caiman SEG in terms of jitter 
  rejection.
   
  Simple Analogue Filter Circuit
  There has been much debate as to how much damage is done to the 
  audio signal by the various digital and analogue filtering networks 
  that are found in a DAC design, and whether filters contribute to 
  grainy high frequencies. The technology used in the Beresford 
  Caiman SEG relies instead on a simple HF analogue filter that 
  operates outside any feedback circuit and outside the audio spectrum. 
  This makes the Caiman SEG less prone to anti aliasing filter residues 
  and noise, and produces a far cleaner and detailed treble response.
  Up to 32 Bit and 768fs oversampling
  The current range of high-end consumer DACs chips go up to 32 bit, 
  but only 384kHz oversampling. The Caiman SEG DAC is capable of 
  up to 768kHz performance.
