If thats the case, it should be €1339

Yep, you're right. There is definitely some markup going on

Right so my doubt

Could it be that the Euro version is shipped from within EU and have tax included and the USD is shipped from Australia and is excluded tax?

Hey peeps,

The official sources don't mention one way or the other whether the V2+ supports Linux (I'm running Ubuntu) as a source on the USB interface.

Just wondering if anyone out there has these components in their setup and can chime in with any first hand experience.

Thanks.

Hi,

I always thought there should work by default, like on Mac OS, although: https://www.xmos.com/developer/published/enable-usb-drivers-linux.

I think I'll try a live Linux this weekend and see what's going on.

That would be awesome! For the record, I'm running Ubuntu 16.04LTS.

https://www.xmos.com/developer/published/enable-usb-drivers-linux.

Thanks for that, I checked it out but the info there is quite old and according to this https://askubuntu.com/questions/326597/enabling-usbfs-in-ubuntu#388062, Ubuntu has not supported USBFS for a loooong time. That said, the other noted workarounds might do the trick... or it might just work straight up.

Latest Ubuntu LTS Live done with Rufus, DAC was connected after the boot & login finished and the XMOS chip was seen instantly. I had no issue listening to music, all went perfectly. Test laptop was Lenovo T440.

QED!

The V2+ works with Android, I've used it connected to both my phone and tablet occasionally.

Yes, and same drivers

On Android all of my DACs work, even the ASUS U7 (I have an old Android tablet with full-size USB port and 5V/1A power).

@raoultrifan You my friend, are a champion! Thanks for testing that out for me, really appreciate you investing the time and effort. Now there's little holding me back from parting with some hard earned

I did find it interesting that it shows up as an Analog Output, but hey, if it works, it works.

 

[raoultrifan]

By analogue it means that RCA outputs are ON, by digital it means the optical S/PDIF output is ON. Something similar appears in Windows 10 as well, just "analogue" word is missing.

Hi,
I am a fresh Burson Conductor V2+ ovner and very happy to acguire. I use the HD800 with Conductor and as a Woo Audio WA6 with T1 secondary system using the Burson DAC. I've been listening some time ago to the V2+ combination with the Hd800 and i was shoched by huge scene and the positioning of the instruments.
But the surprise was when i got the Conductor,it sounds a little "dirty" and crowded. I changed the Supra Lorad entry level power cable with a Wireworld Stratus 7 cable and the sound became clear,the scene grew. The surprise is that it sounds even "warm" away from the analytical sound.
