Today I received the new version of the Burson Discrete Opamp. You see in the pictures that they are actually smaller now, two boards sandwiched together without the use of the connecting board.
I was nervous the originals would not fit in my sound card because of how close it was to the bottom of the case. No need to worry now; it worked out great.
Installation was a snap and I am using it right now. The sound stage has greatly improved - occasionally now when there is a loud passage in music I actually 'jump' because it sounds as if something just happened in my house (cats up to no good) but it's just the music!
I tested it out with some Boards of Canada and some Yes... in the queue is Steely Dan, Genesis, Talking Heads and James Taylor (All FLAC).
I must say it does sound better than any IC opamp I have tried although I admit I have not tried as many (5 or so) as some of you enthusiasts!
This one is definitely a keeper. I look forward to A/Bing this Auzentech Prelude X-Fi w/ Burson Discrete v2 against an Audio-gd Compass w/ Sun v2 opamp when it arrives!
I will be using the other one in my pimped out Kenwood KT-8300 Tuner.

Rob
