I have been thinking about getting a Conductor V2 for my Beyerdynamic DT1770. Since I think they deserve a higher-end amplifier than I'm currently providing them with. I'm just wondering how the sound signature is for Burson amps in comparison to an Audio-gd NFB15. If anybody knows. Warmer, brighter, more neutral?

I can tell you the difference between the audio-GD master 9 and the Burson Soloist.

The Burson has more energy,more sparkle,more bass authority. It focuses on that leading edge attack. I find it to be a great match for almost all of my headphones, especially Audeze. Not sure about your DT-1770, but the DT-1350 sounds outstanding with the Burson.

The Master 9 is a more neutral-ish amp. Very holographic, grain free and easy to listen to. I wouldn't mind owning one. I just found that the Burson signature gets my toes tapping and head bopping more and does so night after night.

Thanks, Jerick. Email sent

It seems shipping of the pre-orders is going to fall behind schedule.

No problem. Glad I could help.

What did Alex quote you for a ship date?

 

[kaushama]

They were supposed to be shipped before 15th of this month.

Alex's email said they will start shipping from 11th April.  May be they are busy making sure everything works fine before they send the units out.  Much rather they sort everything out before they send me my unit.
 
I can wait a bit longer... as long as its not too long.

I received a tracking number from Alex. Mine left on time and is currently in Memphis, Tennessee at the FedEx facility. Scheduled to be here next Tuesday!

That's good to hear!

Got the mail from Alex! They are ready to be shipped! I have included a timekeeper power amp to complement CV2+

I did the same thing. Now I'm thinking I should have gotten two timekeepers after reading the reviews more in depth.

What speakers are you going to use with the Conductor V2+ and the Timekeeper?

Mine is here!
 
I was surprised to find this waiting for me when I got home

 
Nice initial presentation
 

 
My "lucky numbers" are 3 and 6.  This was auspicious!
 

 
Included was the power cable, a set of RCA interconnects and the remote.
 
The remote has metal buttons that rattle slightly within their mounting holes.
At first I thought something was loose within the remote.  I opened the remote
to check - the aluminum back is held on with bonded magnets - very solid!
 

 
The Burson is joining my recently acquired microZOTL and my
WA7tp.  The HeadBox DS got me started on this journey!
 
Audeze LCD 2.2 and an HEK for HP output.
 
 

 
My initial reactions:
 
I had been exclusively listening to the Woo/Audeze combo before receiving the HEK and microZOTL.
 
I used the DAC from the Woo to feed the microZOTL.
 
 
The HEK and microZOTL have a wonderful synergy that left the Audeze/Woo combo wanting.  It almost seems that the tube coloration and the LCD coloration, to my ears, conflicted with each other.  The microZOTL/Audeze combo was a little cleaner in the upper registers, but still did not compare with the HEK.
 
The addition of the V2+ has made an incredible difference with the LCDs, especially in the higher frequencies and mid bass.  I had to dial back the upper treble considerably on my EQ. (I expect this to mellow with burn in) The added punch of the V2 is also quite noticeable, creating a new, more confident voicing in the LCDs.
 
The V2+ greatly improved the performance of the LCDs.  The improvement in the HEKs was less apparent
 
I am very much looking forward to comparing the 2 DACs, through the 3 different amplifiers, into the 2 different phones.  That's a lot of permutations!
 
For now, I will let the V2+ burn in for the weekend.
 
More impressions to follow......

  Have any of the other IDGG buyers received any shipping information?  No news here......

 
I didn’t received any shipment information from Burson until now… Today I got an email from Fedex that they are holding package at Fedex location, from tracking number I can see it was ship from Australia. I can’t wait to pick up today.

Thank you for your input.
That does sound promising to me.

Yes it does. I have a feeling this is going to be mind blowing. Only a few more days until I get mine.
