This sleek and stylish device is engineered to deliver an unadulterated auditory experience, offering listeners the full spectrum of sound without compromise. Whether it's the subtle tap of a foot on stage or the resonant echo of a keystroke, the Conductor 3-Performance captures every nuance with impeccable clarity.

At the heart of this modern, high-tech system lies the SABRE32/ESS9038Q2M DAC and XMOS USB receiver chips, renowned for their advanced capabilities and superior performance. These components are the pinnacle of the industry, ensuring that the Conductor 3-Performance can effortlessly handle DSD512 and 38bit/786kHz audio with precision. The customized USB driver, crafted by Thesycon in Germany, guarantees low latency and bit-perfect audio playback, setting a new benchmark for sound quality.

Utilizing the same Max Current Power Supply (MCPS) technology that has propelled the Conductor Reference to legendary status, this system elevates voltage frequency from 50Hz to 170kHz. By shifting noise beyond the range of human hearing, the MCPS triumphs over the limitations of traditional power supplies, delivering dynamic sound and extraordinary micro-details.

Encased in the Cool Case, the Conductor 3-Performance is a testament to Burson Audio's commitment to elegance and efficiency. The high-density aluminum case, finished in a sophisticated space-gray electroplating, acts as a unified heat sink. This innovative design ensures that the Class-A amplifier operates at optimal temperatures, maintaining its performance without the bulk of traditional heat-fins. Its compact footprint and unobtrusive design make it a seamless addition to any workspace.

For those who revel in customization, the Conductor 3-Performance offers the thrill of opamp rolling. Equipped with Burson V6 Vivid discrete opamps and gold-plated DIP8 sockets, this system invites you to personalize your listening experience. With a plethora of audio opamps available, you have the liberty to shape the sound to your exact preferences.

The sound signature of the Conductor 3-Performance is characterized by raw power and meticulous control. It energizes every note, filling the spaces in between with accuracy and revealing micro-details. This device is crafted for the perfectionist who demands excellence in every aspect of their life, from work to leisure.
