Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp


Interesting review just publised by 6moons.

http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/burson5/1.html

Srajan rated this new DAC/Preamp/Headphone amp higher than some of the industry heavy weights. He liked it more than the Weiss Dac. And given the price difference he awarded it the Blue Moon. Has anyone tried it yet?

I just got mine yesterday so not much critical listening.

Running cd from Oppo 981hd via coax and Macbook pro via USB.

I have the same USB issue as noted in the 6moons review.
Burson replied very promptly to my email and will take care of the issue.
Outstanding customer service so far.

Did notice when running the Burson directly to my Bryston 4B SST the right channel still had a barely audible music coming through even with the vol pot turned down to zero.

I'll have to do additional trouble-shooting tonight and report back.
Just ordered mine last night. I had a Weiss Minerva for a while, so it will be interesting to see if I agree with S.E.'s opinion. I spoke with the dealer about the 24/96 issue the S.E. spoke of. He said Burson was notified of this issue a while back and he assured me mine would be the latest up-to-date model. It worries me slightly that Jmdesignz2 received his the other day and he had the same problem. We shall see.....
Still waiting for Sound Earphones to send me the replacement Burson HA-160D.

I am very eager to hear the high resolution files in 24/96 but the flawed USB receiver will not allow any higher bit rates.

Sound via the coaxial input is very dynamic - clean and musical.
