Do you mean this weird sound of the dac?



If your answer is yes, you have a defective unit..., my first unit had this problem

no i dont have that type of sound without the Jensen, its really just a constant idle buzzing floor noise sound which is fairly noticeable and not your "normal" floor noise!

Is your noise like an RF Noise?
And turning the volume knob does not affect it at all?
And it does not matter if you have something (like a pc) connected to it?
Does it happen with all headphones or just some?

If so i might have infortunately had the same problem

Guys, I just installed the latest Burson Xmos USB driver v4.130 for Windows 10.

When you play Native DSD files, what sample rate are you guys getting? Strange I'm getting only 176khz, 384khz, meaning I'm not getting Native DSD. The correct sample rate should be 2822400, 5644800, etc.

Is the dac section up-gradable?

For example down the track can the 9018 be replaced by a newer chip?

No dont think so.

No dont think so.

hmm interesting.

Not saying the dac section isn't capable i was just curious if it was possible.

Nope. Unfortunately no.

I thought the dac is very decent. You can just buy a separate dac to pair it with the burson. Thats why i do.

Thorough comparisons here.

Seems the the conductor fairs very well even against amp/DACs priced well above it. Good read.

The DAC section could be upgradeable, it is possible, since it is only a board that us users can swap somewhat easily.
But Burson has not released any intention to make a DAC board upgrade. Which is a shame, I would upgrade to a 9038PRO DAC board for sure.
The same goes for the USB board. They could upgrade to an isolated one, etc.

Yeah upgradeable dac section would be a huge plus. Extend the life of the unit and I seal the deal with a purchase from myself.

I hope burson make an upgrades for cv2+ and not a cv3+ in the future..

 

[Matias]

I asked them once if they planned to release a DAC board upgrade. Their answer was no, but rather a new product in the future, a CV3+ maybe. Which again is a shame, as board upgrades could be done.

burson advised me that they weren't intending to replace the v2+ in the foreseeable future when i enquired earlier this year. incorporating the es9038pro sabre dac chip into the cv2+ may be more complicated than it seems.

while the previous conductor virtuoso allowed for the use of two modular dac boards, the cv2+ doesn't due to a complete redesign of the supporting circuitry around the es9018 sabre32 dac chip - according to burson.

 

[Matias]

The 9038PRO may be that, but the 9028PRO was designed to be a pin compatible drop in replacement of the 9018.
