    New, Burson Conductor 3 Reference: Dual 9038 DAC, 7.5Wpc Head Amp, Preamp, Changeable Opamps

    Sorry, no idea about the AKGs, they were OEMs. I guess they are less sensitive than Senns, because the noise floor is much lower but it is still noticeable. My question is rather why some much cheaper amps don't have any hissing, while the C3-Ref has it? Is it because of the excessive power or...

    JadeAudio EA3(FiiO'Sub-brand)-1 BA(Knowles) +1 Dynamic 0.78mm 2pins in-Ear earphone

    Thank you. Is the sound difference worth upgrading with a cable costing nearly as much as the earphones themselves?

    JadeAudio EA3(FiiO'Sub-brand)-1 BA(Knowles) +1 Dynamic 0.78mm 2pins in-Ear earphone

    A newbie question: can I make the EA3 balanced by just changing the cable? If yes, which cable would you recommend?

    For sure the M17 is coming, featuring dual AK4501EQ dac chips. Before the M19 hits the market with 2 X AK4503EQ.

    I have noticed mild background noise with certain high sensitivity headphones. It is more like a faint hiss, which you forget once you start listening to the music. But I agree, it is present.

    New, Burson Playmate 9038 DAC, 2Wpc HeadAmp, Preamp, Changeable opamps.

    Have you switched the input? If yes, many Android phones struggle with the bit-perfect output to an external dac. You would need a dedicated music app, something like UAPP, which can bypass the Android drivers.

    smsl su-8 dac?

    Thanks a lot for sharing this. Still don't understand and don't see on the graph any difference between the Linear fast, Apodizing fast and the Brickwall. They all look (almost) same to me.

    New, Burson Playmate 9038 DAC, 2Wpc HeadAmp, Preamp, Changeable opamps.

    Thanks a lot. If I understand it right, ordering the V6s specifically to upgrade the basic Playmate, would need the copper shield as well. I am just wondering, is the copper shield preinstalled by default in V6 and Everest versions of the Playmate?

    New, Burson Playmate 9038 DAC, 2Wpc HeadAmp, Preamp, Changeable opamps.

    According to your opinion, is the background noise a product of the V6 op-amps, or is it in the circuit, meaning the V6s are only amplifying this noise more than other op-amps? Also, is it possible to measure the voltage swing of the Playmate?

    That's my impression with most of the ESS Sabre dacs. It works better with darker and warmer headphones.

    This is a review of Burson Audio high end V6 op-amps. After reading a lot about different op-amps, I was very curious to try and test V6 Vivids and V6 Classics by Australian company Burson Audio. The Vivids are red and the Classics orange - with white kangaroo jumping! This takes away the tech...
