- Beresford TC-7510 upgraded to Jim Beresford's MOD21 specification, plus upgraded output op-amp and DAC chip
- Op-amp upgraded from a bog standard 4558 type to National's excellent LM4562
- DAC chip upgraded from the Burr-Brown PCM1716 to Wolfson's WM8716
- Black gate electrolytics added in the output filter section.
- What a difference! The sonic benefits speak for themselves with added clarity, much improved imaging and simply more detail. The customer asked us to upgrade his newly acquired TC-7520 in the same manner, and the improvement in sound was excellent too. A worthwhile upgrade to an already excellent DAC.

The original PCM1716 DAC chip was replaced with a high quality Wolsfon WM8716, and the bog standard LM4556 op-amp was upgraded to National Semiconductor's exquisite LM4562. The four electrolytics were replaced with Black Gate types. The sonic improvements spoke for themselves!
