I really like the looks of the Burson as well.
Although I dont hear the difference in dac, but worth the shot. I also heard there is a difference in sonic performance when pairing high voltage dac versus low voltage dac.
What if I told you I don't believe in sound improvement by expensive as heck DACs? Just get a Topping E50 as source and be done with.
I wish that were the case for me! I’ve been obsessing over incremental, but significant differences between DACs for a while now. Finally landed on a Gungnir Multibit and it sounds good enough that I think it’s time to call the DAC quest quits.What if I told you I don't believe in sound improvement by expensive as heck DACs?

Before I got the D90SE I had the same experience / opinion, but this DAC changed my mind. Sure, it is far away from a day/night difference, but my HE1000V2 just shines a bit more (sparkle, resolution and soundstage presentation) with the D90SE as DAC. But I have never tried DACs which costs more then 1400€, because I usually think other components in the audio chain are much more important.What if I told you I don't believe in sound improvement by expensive as heck DACs?

Let me be a little lazy and copy a paragraph here from a recent post of mine in another thread:What if I told you I don't believe in sound improvement by expensive as heck DACs? Just get a Topping E50 as source and be done with.
Indeed. I think the proper approach should be to find the headphone you absolutely love and wouldn't want to change for anything else, than find the best amp for them and then the best DAC...That’s a very good point about headphones/speakers being most important followed by amps, DACs then cables. Everyone probably agrees with that, but we might forget sometimes.
yes. That is how I did and and how I recommend it to others. Find the headphone what you really enjoy and try to get from 95% perfection to 100% by searching for perfect fitting amp and DAC to make your audio chain perfectIndeed.

I started at the source end: best possible / one purchase. Audiolab CDT-6000 transport + Mojo Audio EVO Mystique DAC (Pro Level)…then worked ‘downstream’ .That’s a very good point about headphones/speakers being most important followed by amps, DACs then cables.
