V5i discrete audio opamp customer feedback
The stock op amp to be replaced was an NE5532P. The V5i was well burnt in so, I immediately installed a Wima 0.1uF foil capacitor across pins 4 & 8 (a fresh couple of Elna Slimic II 220uF are in order as well as soon as the mail parcel arrives…). The wee old yet proven […]
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.
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 very good, but when i turn on amp, my op amp get hot.
Fitted to XPlosion sound car in a HTPC
The Burson V5i really opens up a new layer of sound over the stock amps in the X7. The lower spectrum of the sound was increased with X7. Music is now warm. Treble was smoothed out as well. Mid ranged sounded the same. It seems like with the Burson V5i, I was able to hear […]
Very easy to install. Improvement in soundstage, more focus. Enjoy listen to the music over the headphone.
Replaced stock op-amp OP275 and LME49720. Improved stereo separation and clarity. Stereo-imaging improved. Recomended!
Still need to listen it …
Significant improvement in detail and control, punchy upper bass. Better SOUND!
While the sound is incredible the OP seems to have a thermal issue in my setup as after around 1-2 hours of listening I lose the left channel. I already tried opening the chassis but this does not help for me. As I said – while working the sound is amazing but the fact that […]
Gone is the rawness and crunch of the Walnut amp, but hello bass, warmth, soundstage and details everywhere. a really worth it upgrade
It’s good for my XDUOO XD-05!
Replaced stock op-amps OPA2604 and LME49720. First impression was full of surprises. Very much improved stereo separation and crystal clarity. Soundstage widened by an arm’s length in both channels. Stereo-imaging improved. Vocal moves backward a tad bit. Sibilant and grain gone! Top-end more open and airy. Low-end tighter and controlled without being forceful. Improved bass […]
Read about your product as a good upgrade and decided to try it have not listened to it yet.
Not so good the opamp was dead in 10 days Please arrange for immediate replacement.
Easy installation Increased sound transparency in my Little Dot.
Easy install. Noticeable improvement in smoothness and stage, voice tracks much better
I am very pleased. Best ones in the market! A review on head-fi will shortly be up (I go by killerline there).
Hand made 3 way speakers with Marchand xm44-3 way crossover , original with 24x opa2134 which was replaced with 12 pairs of burson V5i – improved resolution and soundstage coherence , V5i is an excellent upgrade for sonic performance of XM44. Thank you burson.
