Any thoughts?

There's USB and Firewire on those boxes, isn't there? This opens up a
wide choice of audio interfaces. I don't think there's any reason
they won't work on the Mini?

Indeed - although I gather the quality of the drivers is a factor, and
that's before the quality of the DAC is factored in. TBH the technical
basis of any decision is utterly confusing!

"The Beresford TC-7510 is now in its MK-6 form, and is an
uncomplicated Digital to Analogue Converter with design features
offering the ideal solution for the modern day high technology hi-fi
or multi-media environment. Whether it is audio improvements from your
CD or DVD, or your satellite, cable box, DVB-T (Freeviiew), PC, MAC:
as long as they have an optical or digital coax output, the TC-7510
will transform your listening pleasures beyound believe.

In sonic terms, the TC-7510 represents a revelation of previously
undiscovered instruments and vocal nuances, reproducing every note in
great detail. It displays increased air and sparkle that gives the
sound a more vibrant character, producing a very accurate and
realistic 3D focus. Greater audio resolution along with improved
definition bring to life previously undiscovered secrets embedded in
the original recording.

Everything in every region sounds significantly more detailed and, at
the same time, more relaxed and lifelike. Live music flows on the
TC-7510 with a realistic sense of linearity, tonality and energy. The
virtual stage is gone and replaced with a real atmosphere.

The TC-7510 is certainly true to the recording, but it is more true to
the music's essence. with increased image and body. The treble sounds
more luminous and brilliant, and the midrange to the bass firmer and
more resolute."

This is audiophile snake-oil talk. It doesn't actually GUARANTEE the
product is crap.... :-)
