Björn of the German site HiFiGeek has reviewed the Burson Conductor GT4 DAC, headphone amplifier and preamplifier under the headline “Raw Power trifft Feingeist” (Raw Power Meets Finesse). The review is in German; the quotes below are our own translations.
Björn describes the Conductor GT4 as linear, with “no tonal colouration” and no weaknesses in power or distortion. It drove everything he tried, from dynamic and planar headphones to IEMs.
Even his wife was won over: “Whatever is playing there, I want it too.”
He calls the build high-end, with a metal remote control and an OLED display, and found the operation intuitive. The Headphone + Sub mode, he says, is “real fun”.
After 500 to 600 hours of use, Björn reports “nothing that bothers me”, calling the Conductor GT4 his “working GOAT” and “of course the end-game DAC here”.
“For me, the Burson Conductor GT4 is the reference right now, and with the fullest conviction. The performance and the overall package convince me completely.”
