Conductor Stellar — Compact Class-A Power, Crafted to Inspire

At its heart, the Conductor Stellar features the ESS9039PRO DAC, paired with fully discrete output stages and Burson’s Max Current power supply. It delivers 8 watts in pure Class-A, offering exceptional resolution, dynamic contrast and clarity.

Its sleek, spacecraft-inspired design is more than stunning. Every angle and vent enhances cooling, ensuring high-performance playback without compromise. With this combination of power, precision, and form, the Stellar turns any desktop into a gateway to high-fidelity audio exploration.

Stellar sound, your way.

The Conductor Stellar brings Burson’s legendary sound and design into a compact powerhouse. The Standard version is perfect for those who love the upgrade journey, while the Deluxe version unleashes full performance with V7 Vivid Pro opamps, Silent Power Level 2, Super Charger 5A, and a stunning dual-tone remote. Whichever you choose, Stellar makes your desktop system look and sound extraordinary.

Effortless Power. Pure Class-A Performance.

The Conductor Stellar delivers a massive 8 watts of pure Class-A power, effortlessly driving everything from sensitive IEMs to power-hungry headphones.

Backed by our Max Current Power Supply, it has zero background noise, ensuring pristine playback at any volume.

At its core, each channel is powered by four Onsemi MJE15032 transistors, precision-made in the USA. Optimized for high Class-A bias, they bring out the clarity, control, and musicality that define the Burson house sound.

A New Benchmark for IEM Listening

Some headphones crave power. Others demand an absolutely pure, black background.

That’s why the Conductor Stellar features a dedicated amplification module engineered specifically for in-ear monitors. With ultra-low noise and high sensitivity, it reveals every subtle detail in your music—without a trace of hiss.

Whether you’re mastering tracks or just enjoying your favorite IEMs, Stellar delivers precision, depth, and silence that lets your music shine.

Remote Control, Reinvented

Included with the Stellar Deluxe, our next-generation remote control is as striking as it is functional—dressed in space grey and copper to match the Stellar’s bold design.

It gives you fluid, effortless control from up to 10 meters away, turning your listening experience into something that feels as refined as it sounds.

Precision-Tuned for the ESS9039PRO – Just Sit Back and Enjoy

The Conductor Stellar features the flagship ESS9039PRO DAC, delivering exceptional resolution and dynamic range.

While it offers 24 filters and path settings, we’ve done the hard work for you.

Each filter has been carefully selected to match our analog output stage, resulting in a sound that’s effortlessly natural and dynamic.

Universal Connectivity – High-Resolution, Hassle-Free

The Conductor Stellar is built to connect with everything in your audio chain—fast, easy, and with zero compromise:

• USB-C XMOS Input
  Streams native DSD512 and 32-bit/768kHz PCM with supreme clarity and precision.
• Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm CSR8675
  Supports LDAC, aptX HD, and AAC, streaming high-res audio wirelessly at up to 24-bit/96kHz.
• Roon Tested
  Seamlessly integrates into any Roon Ready setup for bit-perfect playback.

Whether you’re diving into orchestral soundscapes or pinpointing enemies in your favorite game, the Stellar delivers immersive, low-latency performance with absolute precision.

Second-Gen Silent Power

The Conductor Stellar uses our new Silent Power Module 2, built around the LT3045 regulator—renowned for its ultra-low 0.8 µV RMS noise and excellent line/load regulation. Compared to common regulators like the LM317 or LM7815, which produce hundreds of times more noise, the LT3045 delivers dramatically cleaner, quieter power. The result is a pitch-black background and greater clarity, especially with low-volume or high-sensitivity listening.

Silent Cooling – Performance Meets Precision Design

The Conductor Stellar doesn’t just impress with its futuristic form — it performs with purpose.

Every angle and vent is engineered to optimize cooling, ensuring the high-power, high-current Class-A circuitry operates with peak stability and precision.

It elevates both your desktop aesthetic and your listening experience.

The Option to Go Fusion.

Powered by GaN transistors and a 1MHz switching frequency, the Burson Fusion Core delivers 480W of ultra-clean power with zero ground loop noise.

Smaller, quieter, and more efficient than linear or switch-mode supplies—it’s silent, powerful, and built for high-end audio.

Launch Into High-Fidelity.

The Conductor Stellar distills decades of Burson innovation into a compact, precision-engineered DAC/headphone amp. With its futuristic design, Class-A power, and signature Burson sound, it turns any desktop into a launchpad for immersive, emotionally rich listening—delivering a musical experience that’s truly out of this world.
