Sampling Rate And Bit Depth

Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?


The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.


Sampling Rate:

Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.


Bit Depth:

Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.


You will be surprised by what Burson Audio has achieved with the Composer 3X Performance. Their discreet OP-Amps are easily the star of the show and Composer 3X Performance proves how much a proper implementation can lift and transform any DAC chipset performance. Add the Composer 3X Performance to your audio chain and hear the change instantly.

EQUIPPED WITH A HIGH-QUALITY SABRE DAC CHIP IN AN OLD SCHOOL DAC DESIGN

Burson Audio introduces the Composer 3X Performance, an old school DAC and Pre-Amp combination that does not use DSP to over-sample or reprocess the original digital signal. Burson Composer 3X Performance accurately presents audio from MP3s to native DSD512 without any colouring. Equipped with a powerful SABRE32/ESS9038Q2M DAC chip, a minimal signal path and a mighty power supply, the Composer 3X Performance follows an old school design approach, and it recreates the original art with pinpoint accuracy. This approach is unusual as many DACs utilise a tube output in parallel to a solid-state output to sweeten the analogue signal and attract eyeballs, but not the Composer 3X Performance.

BALANCED SIGNAL PATH WITH OPAMP ROLLING AND PRE-AMP CAPABILITIES

The Burson Composer 3X Performance is a testimony to the less-is-more design approach. It utilises a short signal path to yield accuracy and transparency. The entire audio signal path of the Composer 3X Performance is about the size of two stamps. This symmetrical, fully balanced signal path is free from inferior IC Opamps. Instead, it uses Burson V6Vivid discrete Opamp, which is regarded for its sound. Burson highly encourages Opamp rolling, meaning is that you can change, upgrade and even try out various Opamps to suit your sonic taste. The Composer 3X allows Opamp rolling with gold plated DIP8 sockets along its signal path. The Composer 3X Performance is also a powerful Pre-Amp with low output impedance and two gain levels, making it the perfect match for any amplifiers and active speakers.

UTILISING BURSON’S PROPRIETARY MAX CURRENT POWER SUPPLY FOR CLEAN POWER

The Composer 3X Performance features the same Max Current Power Supply (MCPS) that has made the Conductor 3 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. This power supply overcame the disadvantages of both linear power supplies and conventional switching power supplies, resulting in incredible dynamic and micro-details. The Burson Composer 3X Performance utilises 4sets of MCPS, eliminating any cross-interference between the components.
