Got it working fine with output to headphones. Unfortunately, while reorganizing my room, I blew up my powered speakers when I accidentally connected the XLR cables to the DAC out on the Burson instead of the pre-out. Totally blows but I was looking for an excuse to buy some Polk R200 anyway.

I have a noob question. I used to connect to my Burson C3XR using a MacBook Pro via USB. In an effort to downsize the source, I recently bought a WiiM and am now connecting to the Burson via optical. I just want to know if by using a WiiM with spdif, am I using the DAC from the WiiM or the DAC...

This is a longshot but Burson Audio recently sent me a replacement Bluetooth board because I’ve never been able to get it to connect to Bluetooth. I received the new board but I’m having trouble removing the old board. It has a wire with a connector that I don’t recognize and I’m not sure how to...

I have owned this unit for a few years and I am still unclear how to properly use it. It contains an amp, dac, pre outs among others. I think when I was setting it up, Burson recommended I use a MacBook Pro along with a USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter. The question is whether in this...

Well, the closest thread I found to what I was looking for was listed at the top of the headphone forum where they list the battle of the flagships, top 50 compared. It just looks it was posted some years ago and I'm not sure what flagship even means. But more to the point, I was trying to find...

I've been reading the headphone forum for months. Do you want to know how I get an idea of which headphones are the most popular or a "fan favorite"? I look at each headphone post and check how many posts each has. Is that nuts? I'm a beginner for sure but I've got the bug for sure. I have the...

While I'm thinking about it, I mentioned to Alex that if Burson sold a cover that fit this amp, I would purchase it. I have been looking instead for a correct size plastic bin that would cover it correctly. If anyone has found an alternative, please share. Thanks.

I am very new to audiophile in general so I'm just going to share my very limited experience with my new Conductor 3X. I have been hanging out in Head-Fi for months. I've suffered from analysis paralysis. I didn't grow up with any technical knowledge of audio equipment. Now that I'm older, I can...

As it turns out, I ordered the wrong box and that is why the input/output read incorrectly. I ordered an RCA to XLR and it should have been the other way around. Fortunately ProtegeManiac reminded me that these speakers are XLR. I will return the box and simply order XLR cables to go from the...

That box was suggested by someone from Burson but I told them that the powered speakers were using RCA and in fact right now the cables I’m using are XLR on one end and RCA on the other. Years ago when I bought the speakers, I was connecting them to my computer sound card which obviously only...

I should’ve explained better. The amp is a Burson C3X. The Burson has XLR inputs. It also has XLR pre out and XLR dac out. I thought I was going to be connecting the amp using the pre-out then to the XLR outputs on the box. Then RCA cables from the other side of the box to the speakers. To be...

I’ve been working for the past several weeks on putting together a headphone/amp system. That aside, I think I am confused over even the basic of information. A couple of weeks ago I purchased this. It was advised that I get something like this to keep from damaging my new amp. I have a couple...

Thank you all for your responses. I have to say, it seems crazy to me that Achebe headphone cable catch could be made based on my listening preferences. I’m not quite to that level yet. Of course I would have used the cables provided have they been long enough, but in my case, I’m looking at...

Thank you for your reply. Signature wise, probably V-shaped. Truthfully, I’m going in a little blind here. It’s why I’m asking because I don’t want to spend $500 on a cable and find out I could have got something similar for a fraction of the price. I suppose it’s just inexperience. I just want...

I thought I would continue my discussion here rather than start another thread. So yes, obviously when I posted that link to Amazon, I really was clueless about they type of cable I need for my phones. So here is where I'm at now. The new Burson C3X arrived about a week ago. I also have brand...
