You should get a Conductor 3XR and compare. Burson has outdone themselves with the 3 series. I’ve owned every Conductor since Burson released them and the 3 series is by far superior IMO.

as i posted on the previous page, i did briefly compare the 3xr to the cv2+ and my impression aligned with @raoultrifan's (also on the previous page) in that i didn't hear a noticeable difference, let alone a 'far superior' improvement in audio quality. and as my headphones have single-ended connectors, i have no need for a balanced headphone output. plus the new design doesn't particularly appeal to me aesthetically so there is no compelling reason for me to consider 'upgrading'.
