Burson Audio Timekeeper 3i - Headphone Amp, Pre-Amp & Single-Ended USB DAC

Burson Audio Timekeeper 3i

With the Timekeeper 3i, Burson Audio have created the ultimate all-in-one by adding a 100w pc Class-AB speaker amplifier into a Conductor. No more cables everywhere! No more shelf full of equipment in your space. There’s just the TK-3i, your headphone/speakers and good times with your music.

Squeeze seemingly impossible performance and versatility into impossibly small packages. That has been Burson's self-imposed goal since day one. In the Conductor Reference, Burson have squeezed a dual-mono DAC, a fully discrete Pre-amp and an over-killed Class-A headphone amp into an enclosure that looks great alongside a Mac Book.

Matching between equipment is always challenging. Get it wrong, and you won’t hear the full potential of your system. With the TK-3i, the matching is done for you, from impedance to gain to sonic characteristics. Its DAC, Preamp, Headphone Amp, and Speaker Amp sections come working in perfect synergy.

Redefining All-in-One.

Max Current Power Supply
This insane all-in-one is made possible by Burson's proprietary Max Current Power Supply technology, which removed the need for heavy transformers and oversized power caps, delivering instant and clean power directly to the output transistors.

Advanced Digital
The TK-3i is a dual-mono DAC with one SABRE32/ESS9038Q2M DAC chip per channel. These industry-leading DAC chips are independently powered to maximise dynamics and micro-details while eliminating cross channel interference.

Smooth Bluetooth
The TK-3i features a Qualcomm/CSR8675 Bluetooth 5.0 receiver, which streams at 24bit/96khz with aptX HD audio codec, pushing sound quality and ease of use to the highest level.

USB-C Back to Back
With competitors staying in the USB-B age, TK-3i warps into the USB-C future. No more dongles, no more converters. Phones, tablets, Windows or Mac, Plug-n-play all the way.

Time Changes
Your musical taste will change through time, and the TK-3i will keep up with you. Change its opamps to tune its sound. With four changeable opamps, the Timekeeper 3i will always be a keeper.

Keeping Cool
Touch and feel the TK-3i then the competition. The difference will be striking. Precision machined, this beautiful aluminium enclosure is also a unified heat-sink, keeping the Class-A headphone amp and Class-AB speaker amp running cool while looking hot.
