Hi, I have been using Burson V6 since 2017 on Asus Essence STX II PCI card...Vivids, Classis and combination of those two. I have recently switched to V7 Classic and have about 130 hours of burn-in so I can make few observations when comparing them to V6 Classic.
- Much more details of the same character as V6 (not aggressive, not metallic) slightly less rounded than V6 Classic.
- Wider, higher and deeper stage, more air, more space ….magic of space.
- Vocals are bigger, more present, more 3D
- Much deeper more controlled bass
- Textures and colors of instruments are much more pronounced.
- Slightly better dynamics and punch
- More precise then V6, more resolving, V6 seem a bit muddy in comparison.
- Lots of emotions, lots of musicality, quite enjoyable presentation.
- Natural rendering of instruments.
- Low noise floor, you can hear silence between notes.
- Not making listening fatigue in long sessions.
- Overall, V6 classic on steroids…..magnificent masterpiece came to mind a few times during listening
If you want to give new life to ASUS STX card, make the jump to V7..... just let them burn-in for at least 100 hours.
Cheers
