It's built on a decade of research and development, challenging conventional audio signal paths with its industry-leading discrete audio opamps. In 2017, Burson had a breakthrough in power supply research, leading to the development of the proprietary Max Current Power Supply (MCPS). This superior technology is featured in all Burson products, setting new standards in the industry.
The Composer 3X Performance is a nod to old school DAC/Pre Amp design, playing audio truthfully from MP3s to native DSD512, without any artificial enhancements. It's powered by a SABRE32/ESS9038Q2M DAC chip, ensuring minimal signal path and a robust power supply.
This device is not just about superior digital connections, but also about seamless connectivity. With the Qualcomm/CSR8675 Bluetooth receiver and XMOS USB receiver, it connects effortlessly with all PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices.
The Composer 3X Performance is a testament to the less-is-more design approach. It features a short, symmetrical, fully balanced signal path free from inferior IC opamps, using instead Burson V6Vivid discrete opamps, widely regarded as the best sounding in the world.
The Composer also doubles as a phenomenal preamp with low output impedance and two gain levels, making it the perfect match for any amplifiers and active speakers. It encourages opamp rolling with gold plated DIP8 sockets along its signal path, giving you the freedom to tailor your listening experience to your preference.
In a world where many high-end DACs use ESS9038 and Xmos, and claim to use high-end parts, the Composer stands out. It's not about shock value or collecting "likes", but about creating a timeless classic. The Composer 3X Performance is excellent because it's the result of hard work and dedication. It sounds incredible in the old school way, and we know it is a classic. Experience the difference with the Composer 3X-Performance Fully Balanced XLR USB DAC/Pre Amplifier.
