About the Burson Conductor V2+

The Burson Conductor V2+ is a premium HiFi headphone amplifier, preamplifier, and DAC designed for audiophiles seeking high power and sound fidelity. It features a pure Class A amplifier stage using field-effect transistors and dual 70W transformers, delivering over 8.2 watts per channel into 16 ohms, capable of driving demanding headphones effortlessly. The volume control is handled by a Burr-Brown PGA2310 chip with 0.5 dB steps and 120 dB dynamic range, ensuring smooth and precise analog volume adjustment. For digital inputs, volume control is managed by the integrated Sabre32 DAC chip's DSP volume control, bypassing the analog stage for superior performance. The DAC supports 32-bit/384 kHz PCM and native DSD256 streaming via an XMOS 6-core USB module compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. The Conductor V2+ includes two analog RCA inputs, three digital inputs (USB, coaxial, Toslink), and outputs for preamp and headphone use. Its robust build features a thick aluminum chassis and high-density wound transformers for low noise and high power. Dimensions are 265 mm x 255 mm x 80 mm, and it weighs approximately 7 kg. The unit comes with an audio cable, power cord, and remote control. Released in 2014, it remains a highly regarded model for its clarity, dynamic range, and detailed sound reproduction.
