I thought the Conductor/Soloist was 4w into 8 ohms, which makes it less than 1w into 50 ohms???
I think it's 4 watts into 16 ohms but still, a bit misleading yeah.

Output power: 4W at 16 Ohms
At 50 ohms it outputs more than 1W.
And I can confirm it, it controls LCD-2 like no other headphone amp does (for me, at least)
The Schiit Lyr would still likely impart a smoother sound on orthodynamics with less harshness especially at higher listening volumes, as that one outputs 6W at 32 Ohms. Just saying.
It is not just about the power. It is more about the quality of the power, how clean it is.
I can buy a 200 W in 8 ohms intergrated amp at 150 Euro here, and I also can buy a 1500 Euro integrated amp having the same specs and I can assure you, they will sound very different from each other.
Power is not everything, how clean it is, is more important.
It's also about headroom, especially on orthodynamics cans, they like a lot. That said, the Lyr is definitely cleaner than the Burson.

Which is better, pairing with LCD2,LCD3 or HD800?
Stop comparing the Burson to that Schiit!

Yes, the conductor features a 5 stage filtering power supply. Therefore, we don't recommend the use of external power conditioners. Thanks for your interest and your honest feedback
