Post Info

The Burson V5i opamp delivers impressively high sound quality with my Klark Teknik DN-504. The presentation is clean, dynamic, and well controlled, offering a powerful and articulate performance across the entire frequency range. Detail retrieval is excellent without sounding harsh, making it a very satisfying upgrade.
