  The mids and highs are less sterile,more pronounced.more punchy...trust me,dont waste money on the V5,V5i are better!

Lol thanks. Making me not regret going for V5i instead of V5.

I am on V5i and not on V5.

Anyone try Burson Cable + yet? it's also powered with V5i.
 
If you do, what is your impression? any sound improvement if you already have v5 installed on your soundcard?

I was kinda turned away by their heavy advertisement tbh. Whenever I emailed Burson about my V5i, they would make it point to shove stuff about their new cable down my throat.

I am selling a ZxR with Burson op-amps if anyone is interested.

I have ZXR with V5's and ordered V5i's.I will test them when i receive them.Why would you sell such a great sound card?Probably you found something much better? )

It's amazing but I am thinking of upgrading to the Mojo.

 

[Omerovich]

Oh that thing is only headphone amp.I am using JBL 530's too so i need RCA outputs too.DId you try this MOJO thing?I think it will not be better than ZXR.

Because the EMI shield is touch V5i (the red hex engrave), not sure short circuit happen or not
 

 

 
Something you can do is to get some simple metal spacers and and raise the shield when mounting it. The spacers will keep the ground active whilst giving you more height to clear the opamp.
 
Btw, so the V5i are the hotness not the V5 or is that the best compromise space wise? That would make things a helluvalot easier to fit under the shield!

IMO V5i is the best P/P upgrade & can be fit under EMI shield compare to other discrete op-amp.
 
I haven't try V5 yet, but other like V5i sound more than V5.

I've ordered them both(V5 and V5i).I guess V5's will sound more warmer.I don't understand why the expensive sound stuff sounds warm?Or may be is my placebo?Is that they call quality sound?For me the natural (neutral)and detailed pronounced sound is the best...

V5 sound warmer because it's RED inside out 

 

 

[seamon]

V5 better cuz bigger is always better

 

[raymond555]

NEC uPC4570c is the best cheap sounding opamp....for the I\V if that matters...
