Can the Virtuoso's internal dac be bypassed for use with an external dac? Same question for the Conductor's?

yes both can be used as amp only by using the rca input

Thanks. New dac's coming and my other amp's delayed. I like the fact you don't have to wait for a Burson.

Anybody with CM6631A USB module and using WINDOWS VISTA find a way to download driver usually to install driver i have to use XP in compatibily mode because theres no Vista folder even if Burson says there is . i downloaded there driver install it with XP and when i go to device i only have 2 samplerates  16/44,100 hz and 16/192,000hz i had installed it before a couple years ago and i had 2 missing samplerates 88.2 and 176,4 . i have the 4wpc Conductor . Anybody have this problem and found a solution .Thanks

Hi there RubyTiger! Received your PM but thought to reply out in the open. You certainly can use the Conductor Virtuoso as a headphone amp alone, just go in through it's RCA analog inputs rather than USB. Burson Audio wants you to be happy and enjoy your music your way. Naturally we recommend comparing your current DAC with the interchangeable 9018 Sabre DAC offering a rich, wideband and dynamic sound, or the underappreciated and ultra-musical Burr Brown PCM1793. They pair extremely well with the Audeze EL-8 open and closed-back headphones as well as the rest of the LCD series.  
 
On what basis do we recommend you compare our available DACs with an external DAC? It's very straightforward. The Conductor Virtuoso is all class-A, fully discrete circuitry, no op-amps. You can't customize a chip with 50 or more circuits crammed into a tiny space, many having nothing to do with audio reproduction, with puny chemical traces. But you can customize, impedance-match, optimize signals and create matching input-to-output throughput with all-discrete circuits than with any chip or op-amp could ever manage. Op-amps and chips are great for computers, not so great for audio. Feel free to find out more at www.BursonAudio.com.
 
Several reviews coming up, more in the pipeline, we'll let you know when they publish. 
 
Thank you,
Burson Audio

with the burton conductor virtuoso, I have used all my LCD 2 and 3 and the el-8, sounds awesome and very clear and crisp with both 9018 and 1793 DAC.  This is a power machine!!!  I think this is one of my best amp/dac to date.!!!!

Well, I thank you for that. I really love the detail of the 9018 Sabre dac. Thumb's up.
 
Also, the new dac is not meant for the Conductor; the pairing only temporary as I feel the Conductor is complete as is.

Problem was that i wanted to update driver in devices in Vista  but (update driver ) was not enabled so i could not update driver downloaded driver several time without success only had 2 samplerates up until i deactivated (user account control) redownloaded driver from your page but your driver is not the latest one but this time (update driver ) was enabled and i updated to the latest driver but i am still missing 88 and 176 samplerates .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Always been like that since installing CM6631A USB module when it came out and also only works with WASAPI now .TENOR used ASIO.

Out of curiosity, most of time my Burson is hook to iMac so no driver needed no hassle at all but from time to time wants to bring my amp to bedroom and then connect with laptop so the question is, which Output Mode ASIO or WASAPI on player has to be chosen to obtain the best possible audio quality and performance with the C-Media USB module & Sabre DAC version of Conductor with Windows 7, or newer?

It won't be night and day difference but according to my research most PC foobar2000 head-fiers recommend WASAPI plugin.

Does the C-Media & driver work with JRiver media center? I had issue's with the older Conductors tenor chip. Before the C-Media's release I bought the AP2 with pure power and no more issue's. Still, one day I would like to upgrade the usb section.

Personnaly using CM 6631A with MUSICBEE and WASAPI works great and worked great with TENOR and ASIO also cant use ASIO with CMEDIA Only thing is the order that you open or shutoff player or amp .I always turn amp on first then player and to close ,player first then amp if i close amp first sometimes player freezes.

Burson Audio has some plane for upgrading the DAC section for Classic model?
Conductor has been criticized for the relative-weak link.
If they do a plan for it, then they can keep their existing customers and it might open new chance for that business.
Considerable people like the minimalist approach of audio design of Burson, and faithfully stay with classical version of Conductors.
 
Somebody offers 900 USD for my old conductor, and I was a bit surprised at that offer.
Because some regards Conductor as old fashioned one and the price is deemed OK.
But the owner of the product might be dismayed for the low price, in the fact that life span of usual electronics is way more than 10 years.
 
Burson Audio should listen to this as they claimed their product an upgradable or at least future protection as technology evolves.
