Fantastic. Combined with the Playmate 2, it transforms a rather laid back warm HD650 into a beast. The opamps keep the lush and forward mids unchanged, but help tremendously with the bass and highs. Bass is accentuated and becomes more aggressive, more punchy, goes slightly lower even, but it’s never bloated. Highs are more pronounced […]

I’ve had my Playmate 2 for a few days, and with the stock op amps it is a noticeable improvement over the Fiio K5 Pro. I was waiting for the K9 Pro, which is almost impossible to find not marked up because of the lack of the AK4499. This is my 1st Sabre chip DAC, […]

Purchased 2x Vivid Dual and 2x Classic Dual to fit into Burson Playmate Basic and after installing can tell a noticeable difference: sound is much smoother and top-end much more natural (top end with basic op-amp felt unnatural, very metallic) The System Listening with Burson Playmate · DAC / headphone amplifier / preamp · discontinued […]

I can certainly feel improvement in lots of areas, but not that wow factor (Haven’t tested with my Hifiman yet). Planning on upgrading opamp sometime later. The System Listening with HiFiMAN Ananda · Headphones: open-back, planar magnetic, circumaural · discontinued Impedance: 26 Ω Sensitivity: 93 dB (reference not stated) Frequency response: 8 Hz – 55 […]
