Gene’s Burson V5i Opamp with Zishan Z3

Published on

Post Info

Purchased this after reading reviews online, was originally eyeing the V6 classic but it was way over my budget. Wasn’t impressed with it upon installing it in my portable player but after the burn-in period, the sound i was hearing was beyond what my stock opamp sounded. Well worth it, i’ve been recommending this to my fellow enthusiasts looking for a premium opamp that won’t break the bank.
