ASUS Essence STX with Burson V5i opamp

Got a pair of double SSV5i and used them in the I/V section of the sound card. Until now I’ve tested a lot of OP-AMP’s, some very good, some very bad, but these are gonna stay forever ( or until a v6i will appear ). With an OPA2132PA in the buffer section the sound is […]

Xduoo XD-05 with Burson V5i opamp upgrade

It was very straightforward to install. I did not have the issue with the high gain setting reported by the others. Will let the set up run awhile before making up my mind about the sound. Promising!

Numark PPD MMX1000 Rotary DJ-Mixer with Burson Vi5 opamp mod

I’ve been working on this “old” rotary mixer I bought 3 years ago. Mainly the phono stages got the proper attention. I replaced al the caps and placed some new “standard” op-amps.

Arc Audio PS8 with Burson V5i Opamp upgrade

Here are my initial thoughts changing from the TI LM4562 Op Amp. Staging and layering depth noticeably better. Better low-end transience on the sub and mid bass areas. The highs are a little crisper but not harsh. I’m hoping that it smooths out with the 100 hours of break in time.

Little Dot 1+ Hybrid Headphone Amp with Burson V5i Opamp

I am a beginner really, I have currently installed the dual V5i to the Little Dot 1+ and it is still in the burn in process, yet I am enjoying it a lot. I am also planning to perform modifications on a NAD PP2 phono stage and on a CA DAC Magic100 using the V6 […]

Sound Blaster X7 upgraded with Burson V5i dual
