ENJOY AN IMMERSIVE AUDIO EXPERIENCE WITH THE BURSON CONDUCTOR 3 PERFORMANCE
Burson Audio is well known for challenging the conventional and pushing the boundaries of audio excellence through innovation. They are recognised in the audio industry for their use of discrete audio Opamps in the audio signal chain in their devices. They have also developed an award-winning proprietary Max Current Power Supply (MCPS) that is superior to both transformer-based and conventional switching power supply designs. Leveraging their expertise Burson Audio present the Conductor 3 Performance. The Conductor 3 Performance delivers an accurate representation of your music and audio with its latest technology and advanced connectivity.

FEATURING AN ADVANCED DIGITAL AUDIO ARCHITECTURE THAT DELIVERS PRISTINE AUDIO
Burson Conductor 3 Performance took 3 years to build and it leaves the competition for dust. Featuring SABRE32/ESS9038Q2M DAC chips and XMOS USB receiver chips with customised USB driver by Thesycon Germany to ensure low latency bit-perfect audio playback. The result is unsurpassed processing power, perfectly playing back DSD512 and 38bit/786khz audio. The Conductor 3 Performance also features a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver (Qualcomm/CSR8675) with an aptX HD audio codec, pushing Bluetooth playback beyond CD quality and ease of use to the highest level. The inclusion of these technologies elevates the Burson Conductor 3 Performance to the next level with seamless connectivity with Windows, Mac OS, iOS and other mobile operating systems.

MODULAR DESIGN WITH OPAMP ROLLING CAPABILITY TO TAILOR THE SOUND AS YOU WANT
Burson Audio and the team of engineers working on the Conductor 3 Performance have carefully designed the audio architecture to support Opamp rolling. What this means is that you can change, upgrade and even try out various Opamps to suit your sonic taste. The Conductor 3 Performance comes with Burson V6 Vivid discrete Opamp, but Burson does not dictate your listening experience. The Conductor 3 Performance encourages Opamp rolling with gold plated DIP8 sockets along its signal path. With hundreds of audio opamps out there, you have the freedom to tailor your listening experience to your preference. The Burson Conductor 3 Performance energises every note and space in between, bringing accuracy and micro-details.



UTILISING BURSON’S PROPRIETARY MAX CURRENT POWER SUPPLY TO DELIVER CLEAN POWER
The Conductor 3 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 Conductor 3 Performance utilises 5sets of MCPS, which means the Display/Functionality, DAC, analogue left and analogue right are all separately powered, eliminating any cross-interference between the components.



ENCASED IN A COOL CASE MADE FROM HIGH-DENSITY ALUMINIUM WITH A OLED SCREEN
Burson Audio is known to turn Class-A amplifiers from monsters with heat-fins into elegant, desktop-friendly machines, and they do it through the Cool Case. The Cool Case on the Burson Conductor 3 Performance is made from high-density aluminium and electroplated to space-grey. The Cool Case has only 4 visible screws under its belly. The Cool Case is also a unified heat-sink that is 300% more efficient than previous Conductors. It is audio jewellery at its finest and it looks and plays very cool. The all-new OLED screen and interface program deliver a calming and intuitive user experience. Its machined solid aluminium knob offers fine control and feels luxurious. Having a footprint that is 30% less than the Conductor Reference and a volume similar to a lunch box, it is beautiful but unobstructed.
