Passion for Sound reviewed the Burson V5i op amp in the video above and in a written review. In the written review, the V5i was tested in a FiiO E12DIY with the LM49600 buffer, alongside the NJR MUSES02 and Texas Instruments OPA627, with a Schiit Gungnir Multibit and AudioQuest NightHawk headphones.
“The most striking aspect of the V5i’s sound is its midrange.” The review describes the V5i as “all about dynamics and clarity”, without ever becoming hard-edged or forceful.
The written review advises checking with Burson Audio if your setup is unusual, adding that “their technicians are very knowledgeable”.
On John Mayer, the review found the V5i sound “rich” with “a tactile sense of rhythm and groove”, adding: “I think the V5i was made for music like this.”
Plug it in and “enjoy a spectacular opamp”. In the video, the V5i is summed up as “a really impressive piece of kit”.
