The Ultimate ESS9039PRO DAC / Head Amp – Fully Unleashed
At the heart of the Conductor Voyager is the ESS9039PRO DAC — the most advanced chip from ESS Technology, delivering stunning resolution, dynamic contrast, and ultra-low distortion.
Even the best DAC needs the right stage to shine. That’s why we built fully discrete I/V and LP stages, custom-tuned for the 9039PRO. With dual mono architecture and Burson V7 opamps, it transforms digital signals into an immersive, lifelike performance.
Pure Class-A Power for Every Headphone
The Conductor Voyager is more than a DAC—it’s an apex Class-A headphone amplifier. Powered by our Max Current Power Supply and delivering up to 10W of pure Class-A power, it drives everything from IEMs to planar magnetic headphones with effortless control, razor-sharp transients, and a silent background that reveals every detail.
Each channel features four high-current gain Onsemi MJE15032 power transistors, made in the USA. These transistors shine under our elevated Class-A bias, delivering the headroom, control, and emotional impact that define the Burson sound.
Precision-Tuned for the ESS9039PRO – Just Sit Back and Enjoy
The ESS9039PRO DAC offers 24 filter and path settings—but we’ve done the tuning for you. Each filter is precision-matched to our discrete Class-A analog stage, delivering sound that’s natural, dynamic, and unmistakably Burson.
No guesswork. Just pure, reference-quality playback.
Universal Connectivity – High-Resolution, Hassle-Free
The Conductor Voyager connects effortlessly with every digital source:
- USB-C XMOS interface: Supports native DSD512 and 32-bit/786kHz PCM
- Bluetooth 5.0 (Qualcomm CSR8675): Streams in LDAC, aptX HD, and AAC up to 24-bit/96kHz
- Roon Tested: Seamless integration with any Roon Ready system
And for gamers, a low-latency headphone output delivers immersive soundscapes with precision and impact—whether it’s an orchestral score or a battlefield explosion.
Silent Power – Cleaner Than Batteries
The Conductor Voyager features seven Burson Silent Power Modules, delivering voltage regulation up to 200 times quieter than standard regulators. The result? Zero background noise, zero distractions—just pure music.
Head+Sub Mode – Feel the Sound
With Head+Sub Mode, pair a subwoofer with your open-back headphones for a cinematic, full-body experience.
From music to movies to games, it’s an immersive headphone setup that lets you feel every moment.
All-New Remote – Control with Style
The Conductor Voyager comes with a brand-new remote control that looks as extraordinary as it performs. Finished in matching space grey and copper, it complements the Voyager’s aesthetic while giving you intuitive, full-range control from up to 10 metres away.
Powered by two AAA batteries for 12+ months of operation, it’s sleek, solid, and futuristic—not just a remote, but an extension of the Voyager experience..
Fusion Core Power Supply – Clean. Efficient. Revolutionary.
Powered by GaN transistors and a 1MHz switching frequency, the Burson Fusion Core delivers 360W of ultra-clean power with zero ground loop noise.
Smaller, quieter, and more efficient than linear or switch-mode supplies — it’s silent, powerful, and built for high-end audio.
More Than a DAC – A Musical Experience
The Burson Conductor Voyager is our vision of what high-end audio should be. It brings together cutting-edge engineering, musical soul, and a timeless aesthetic. Whether you’re streaming from your laptop, spinning vinyl, or diving into a late-night headphone session, the Voyager elevates your entire system.
From quiet moments to sonic showdowns, this flagship DAC/headphone amp/preamp transforms your listening into a high-fidelity experience worth savouring.
