Burson Audio Conductor 3X Performance Headphone Amp / DAC / Preamp

$1,075.00

SKU: Conductor 3X Performance

Description

Some DAC/Amps claim to give you the front row experience in
exchange for less soundstage. Others promise a 3D soundstage in trade for fewer
details. The Conductor simply gives you everything in the recording, without
sugar-coating, the good and sometimes the ugly. You can locate a tapping foot
on the stage while enjoying that lingering vibration of air after a keystroke.

Advanced Digital

The Conductor uses the SABRE32/ESS9038Q2M DAC and XMOS USB
receiver chips, the most advanced and expensive in the industry. Its Customised
USB driver by Thesycon Germany ensures low latency bit-perfect audio playback.
The result is incredible processing power, accurately playing back DSD512 and
38bit/786khz audio.

It also features a Qualcomm/CSR8675 Bluetooth 5.0
receiver. Playing back at 24bit/96khz with aptX HD audio codec. , it pushes
sound quality and ease of use to the highest level.

Max Current Power Supply

The Conductor Performance features the same Max Current
Power Supply (MCPS) that has made the Conductor Reference legendary.

A technology developed, owned and used exclusively by Burson
Audio, the MCPS raises voltage frequency from 50Hz to 170kHz, pushing noise
beyond human hearing. It completely overcomings the disadvantages of both
linear power supplies and conventional switching power supplies, resulting in
incredible dynamic and micro-details.

The Cool Case

We like to turn Class-A amplifiers from monsters with
heat-fins into elegant, desktop-friendly machines, and we do it through the
Cool Case. Made from high-density aluminium and electroplated to space-grey,
the Cool Case is a unified heat-sink keeping the Class-A Conductor cool and
optimised. Critics such as Headfonics called it “the new standard” in the audio
industry.

Having a footprint that is 30% less than the Conductor
Reference and a volume similar to a lunch box, it is beautiful but
unobstructive. Take it to work, and no one will raise an eyebrow.

Opamp Rolling Fun

The Conductor Performance comes with Burson V6 Vivid
discrete opamps. But don’t let us or anyone dictate your listening experience.
The Conductor encourages opamp rolling with gold plated DIP8 sockets along its
signal path. With hundreds of audio opamps out there, you have the freedom to
tailor your listening experience to your preference.

The Sound

While our Conductor Reference is like Huge Jackman in Kate
and Leopold, the completed package, the Conductor Performance is the shredded
Wolverine. It’s still him but stripped down! Power and total control of that
power will be the overwhelming first impression. It energises every note and
space in between, bringing accuracy and micro-details. The C3 performance is
for the perfectionist who works hard and plays harder.
