Burson Audio Conductor 3X GT
The Conductor 3X GT Grand Tourer takes that unique Burson Audio house sound further with a new output stage for its dual high-performance DACs. A new feedback based gain control allows this GT to max out at 10 Watts yet matches with even more headphones. With so many functionalities and refinement, you will never want to add another machine to your desktop.
In the Conductor GT, Burson Audio tailored a new output stage to utilise the wide bandwidth of their Vivid opamps. When combined with Burson's proprietary Max Current Power Supply, the GT takes the unique Burson house sound to a new level with even more details in every note.
It also features a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver Qualcomm/CSR8675 with an aptX HD audio & LDAC codec. It pushes Bluetooth playback beyond CD quality and ease of use to the highest level.
Epic Audio.
Advanced Digital
Conductor GT's digital interface is the most advanced and comprehensive, from its XMOS USB receiver to its Qualcomm Bluetooth module. With a customised driver by Thesycon, Germany, its Xmos USB receiver has unsurpassed processing power and accuracy, perfectly streaming DSD512 and 32bit/768khz audio.
Smooth Control
The all-new OLED screen and interface program deliver a calming and intuitive user experience. Its machined solid aluminium knob, in GT red, offers the most delicate control and feels luxurious.
Powering the GT
The thumping heart of the Conductor GT is 5 sets of Burson Max Current Power Supplies. Burson Audio are pushing these MCPS to the limits of their potential. So much so that they consume 90W when idle and need active cooling.
Roon Ready
Roon is the most popular streaming and HD music management platform for audiophiles. Burson is part of this fantastic ecosystem. Buson Audio's DACs are Roon Tested, and they seamlessly connect with any 3rd party Roon Ready audio streamers.
GT Cool
With every component operating in a predetermined temperature range, independent of the environment, active cooling gives us the freedom to push the GT to its performance limit. Combining its resonance-free enclosure with the quietest fan money can buy from Noctua in Austria, the GT is quieter than the background ambience of your music.
Fully Differential Audio Paths
The V6 Vivid discrete opamps are wildly regarded as the best and used in countless recording studios. The Conductor GT uses 6 Vivid opamps in its fully differential output stage, achieving incredible transparency. It still plays to your preference by allowing opamps to change, enabling you to create your own listening experience.
Head+Sub Mode
Before the invention of headphones, music listening has always been a full-body experience. It’s not just what your ears can hear but all the energy that your body feels that move the soul. Headphone listening goes to a new level with a carefully matched and placed subwoofer. The GT enables this experience with its Head+Sub mode.
