OK, thank you for your time raultrifan, I'll see what I can do with with the tons of info you gave me!
For the Burson I'll post my thoughts as soon as I get other 2 opamp and then I'll be ready.
By the way, the burson doesn't like I/V, they get hot really quick, I use them on buffer and LPF. For I/V the muses01 are the best!
Thank you again!

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]I know I promised month ago to return here for telling how was the Burson SS V5 doing in one beloved One, but many things as changed from then.[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]I tried them on LPFilter and Buffer with MUSES01 as I/V converter; then following @raultrifan advice I discovered that I could make a Full Burson unit as the headphone amp uses only half the I/V opamp and so I went Full Burson (1 on Headphone Buffer, 2 on LPFilter and 2 on I/V stage).

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]All I can say is that they were a marvellous combination: perfect PRat; the bass is more controlled and refined, quite visceral (not excessively darker like OPA2134 on MUSES02 I auditioned before); Mids engaging and musical such as with MUSES01; far Less fatiguing Highs/Treble than with the lme49710HA as Headphone Buffer.[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]A perfect combo.[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]On several Italian's forum some guys wrote that Full Burson Supreme Sound V4 was the perfect combo for our Xonar. I'd have liked to hear a SS V4 vs SS V5 comparative (as I'd already got my hand on two SS V4 in the past) but I couldn't find them anywhere for a reasonable price so I skipped that. Now I can trust those V4 addicted, as the SS V5 is really on another league.[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]If I had to choose I'd pick the Full Burson SS V5 sound any day over any combination of MUSES01, MUSES02, LME49710, OPA2134, OPA2111, OPA2107, OPA627, LT1028, LME49990, etc.[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]They actually appreciated my interest, since back in October I was one of the few to have tried their new Discrete Opamp, so they talked me about their new project: a DAC/Amp/Pre-Amp based on their flagship Conductor Virtuoso implementing the new discovery made while developing the SS V5.[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][/color]
