DAC ES9038 32bit / 768kHz DSD512 / Headphone amplifier -
Some DAC/Amps claim to give you the front row experience in exchange for less soundstage. Others promise a 3D soundstage in trade for fewer details. The Conductor 3 Performance simply gives you everything in the recording, without sugar-coating, the good and sometimes the ugly. You can locate a tapping foot on the stage while enjoying that lingering vibration of air after a keystroke.
A volume knob on the front panel allows to adjust the output volume on the headphones and variable RCA output connectors.
An OLED screen displays in real time the volume level, the active input and the current output as well as the type of stream being played. It is also a practical way to check that your audio files are playing as expected.
The headphone output is located on the front panel and allows quick connections on the fly. The RCA outputs are located on the rear panel of the Conductor in order to hide most of the permanent & semii permanent connections to avoid having loose cables in your listening room.
The Conductor uses aSABRE ESS9038Q2M 32bit DAC as well as a XMOS USB digital interface. Both are well-known for being among the most advanced parts available in nowaday's audiophile industry. Its Customised USB driver by Thesycon Germany ensures low latency bit-perfect audio playback. The result is incredible processing power, accurately playing back DSD512 and 38bit/786khz audio.
It also features a Qualcomm / CSR8675 Bluetooth 5.0 receiver. Handling playback up to 24bit/96khz with aptX HD audio codec. , it pushes sound quality and ease of use to the highest level.
The Conductor Performance features the same Max Current Power Supply (MCPS) that has made the Conductor Reference legendary.
A technology developed, owned and used exclusively by Burson Audio, the MCPS raises voltage frequency from 50Hz to 170kHz, pushing noise beyond human hearing. It completely overcomings the disadvantages of both linear power supplies and conventional switching power supplies, resulting in incredible dynamic and micro-details.
Burson Audio definitely likes to pack as much technology as possible in an elegant and desktop-friendly machines. This is achieved thanks to Burson's Cool Case. Case. Made from high-density aluminium and electroplated to space-grey, the Cool Case is a unified heat-sink keeping the Class-A Conductor cool and optimised.
Having a footprint that is 30% less than the Conductor Reference and a volume similar to a lunch box, it is beautiful but unobstructive. Take it to work, and no one will raise an eyebrow
