Sandu Vitalie of Soundnews reviewed the Burson Conductor GT4 on video and in a written review titled The Return of the King. He scored it 94/100 and gave it the Soundnews Gold Award, which he describes as the site’s highest honour.
Sandu notes that the GT4 uses two quiet fans and runs about 2°C cooler than the GT3. It has one ES9038Q2M per channel, each with its own power supply. The XMOS XU-316 interface works well with streamers and supports DSD512 and 768kHz.
He lists the GT4 at $2,799 for the Standard package, $3,399 for the Deluxe and $3,999 for the Max, for reference against the GT3’s $2,999. In his listening, the Fusion Core (Max) was a large upgrade, and moving back to the standard power supply was a big step down.
Sandu credits the lower crosstalk with a wider stage. He found the treble tamed and the midrange meaty. Running on the Super Charger, he liked the GT4 more than the Soloist Voyager.
