V5 Opamp
Rotel RB-1552, Rotel RC-1550, Rotel RCD-1590

After many problems (overheating at 15 V and broken extension legs), Burson V5 dual are in da place in my DAC Rotel RDD-1580. Thanks to Alex of Burson aftersales. Sound is great … More details in spacious soundstage with generous bass. Trebles are bright and more real. Burson are better than Muses8920 and Muses01 in my configuration. I’m trying cap tweak in I/V with Silmic II 10 uf 35V … It offers more dynamic.
