    Introducing Burson Audio 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.

With a powerful SABRE32/ESS9038Q2M DAC chip, a minimal signal path and a mighty power supply, the Composerfollow an old school design approach, and it recreates the original art with pinpoint accuracy.

    Burson Audio Composer 3X Performance features superior digital connections. Featuring the Qualcomm/CSR8675 Bluetooth receiver (24bit/96khz / aptxHD) and XMOS USB receiver ( PCM 768kHz / DSD512), the Composer connects seamlessly with all PC, Mac, iOS and Android devices.

    A timeless classic.



    Perfectly Balanced
    The entire audio signal path of the Composer 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 opamps which are widely regarded as the best sounding in the world.

    Refined Preamp
    The Composer is also a phenomenal preamp with low output impedance and two gain levels, making it the perfect match for any amplifiers and active speakers.

    Full Power
    The Composer features four Burson proprietary Max Current Power Supplies (MCPS). They raise voltage frequency from 50Hz to 170kHz, pushing noise beyond human hearing. The result is a transparent sound with incredible micro-details.

    Opamp Rolling Fun
    The Composer 3X Performance comes with Burson V6 Vivid discrete opamps. But don’t let us or anyone dictate your listening experience. The Composer 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.
