Issue posting a review?
I was sent a Burson Cable + and I wrote a review and posted it in the Burson Cable+ reviews thread, but it's not showing up. So I tried posting it again, and again it did not show up. I want to fulfil my end of the bargain since I received this cable free of charge. Can a moderator please help...- mistersprinkles

Review by 'mistersprinkles' on item 'Burson Audio Cable+'

I used it between my iphone and my imac (both standard 3.5mm outputs on these devices) and my schiit magni 2 amp. First I listened using a standard...- mistersprinkles

Burson Cable+ PRO A2R (my thoughts)
You are correct. I had it plugged in when I used it and assumed that I was charging some battery but when I unplugged the USB I realised that the device has no battery :P -

I am almost 100 percent certain that you are looking at 24/192 for the magni/modi (whichever one of those is the DAC). There is an addon box for $149 that upgrades the DAC to DSD (native) capabilities.- mistersprinkles

You would prefer bright to warm? I am more inclined towards warm. I am by no means an anti-brightite. I like it just fine, but given the choice I will take warm every time. Glad you enjoy your unit. The Asgard, which is a step or two up from the stack, is quite bright, but not annoyingly so.- mistersprinkles

Schiit Asgard + HE400i
Rick, thanks, do you have the 400i's? I'd prefer not to put down the cash for an H10 if it's not going to blow my mind.- mistersprinkles

I'm using a Schiit Asgard (version 1) that I got second hand for a comically cheap price. It's in mint condition. The guy had upgraded to the Lyr and just wanted to unload this thing. How much of a difference does it make? Well, you can't compare apples to oranges. The Fulla is a low end...- mistersprinkles

Schiit Asgard + HE400i
I've been running my HE400i's off my Marantz integrated's headphone out with very mediocre results. I picked up a used Schiit Asgard (version 1) for super cheap. It was so cheap I couldn't help myself. I realize that a higher output amp such as a Gustard H10 would better serve me, but I picked...- mistersprinkles

You haven't lived until you've listened to DSD my friend. Get a portable player that natively supports DSD and get a DSD DAC for home use. You'll love it. Going from 44Khz to over 2Mhz sample rate is just so amazing. I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying DSD on anything better than my...- mistersprinkles
