Dual DAC and dual mono design Yes please! So far I'm quite pumped and can't wait to have a listen to it.

Before you ask, I don't know what the "tetris button" does.

Wow, as a previous Conductor (V1) owner I am really interested about this one

I can already hear Burson saying 'no more Mr. Nice Guy'.


'Tetris' button is probably related to the display in case you want to flip your Conductor.


ps. Dat design though..

 

[Hooster]

I like it.

Yep, makes sense buddy.

I should have a full size pic probably at the end of this week. I am curious myself how they managed to make it 300% more heat efficient.

Finally an XLR hp output from Burson?

 

[DarKu]

I don't know but I really hope so myself

 

[technobear]

Another DAC/amp with no EQ and no Crossfeed?

Good thing too as we have such a shortage of those... not.

I’m a big fan of Burson. They make amazing gear. I was hoping they would replace the V2/V2+. But I was hoping it would be something with balanced in’s and out’s. Nevertheless, the specs look outstanding.

I’m on the pre-order list for Headamp’s GSX mini but this has caught my attention

 

[newtophones07]

I am interested, as I like the burson sound. They have to fix their amp impedance issues with low impedance cans/iems and the background hissing, especially at this price.

I have owned four burson device and their customer service is the best I have encountered.

i have a playmate and i´m happy but my headphone deserves more. of course this new conductor on paper is awesome.

I have a conductor V2+ with power amp Timekeeper. They are brilliant and I am quite excited about V3. Specially their new power supply design is very inspiring and intriguing!

 

[alota]

. Specially their new power supply design is very inspiring and intriguing!

agree. i hope quality control of pcb is better compared to playmate
