So, today the new FiiO K9Pro ESS arrived. Absolutely great device. Processing perfect, I like visually very well, very nice!
I thus replaced my Burson Conductor 3XP. With the I was definitely never happy and would never buy again. Most annoyed me the volume control. That was the horror! Turn, turn, turn... there's no end to how much I hated it. I was also definitely never satisfied with the "sound". It sounded "floppy", bass was clearly missing to me and many headphones, which require a lot of power, just sounded lousy. Never again!
And lo and behold, with the FiiO everything is different, as you would expect. A perfect volume control. No more endless twisting. In addition, it runs extremely fine. You can't make it perfect. I also like the sound much better. Although the same power as Burson, you have felt twice the power. Drive it in high gain, like the Burson in each case also. At the moment I'm listening to the LCD-i4. Excellent. Also ZMF sound with it much better than Burson.
Conclusion: regret the purchase not a second and would buy it again immediately!
