What did you buy today? (Part 2)

Big fan of Burson stuff, hope to hear your impressions about it!

I’m not an iem guy but damn that cable + metal look is dead sexy.

I had the Conductor 3XP for 2 weeks on loan and it was nice. It didn’t wow me but I though it was a nice AIO package which can be had on the used market for a good value. I can’t speak to the 3XR nor did I do any Op Amp rolling since I didn’t own the unit.

Burson has great build quality on their units for sure!

Will be using it as an amp only and not sure how much the balance adds. I think as you say it’s a good all in one unit and using it as a headphone amp and as preamp for my Dynaudio monitors is where I’m hoping it will do its best work. According to our resident sage the DAC leaves a lot to be desired. I’ll be feeding it from my Holo Cyan so let’s see how it goes.

EDIT: and yeah, a good price on the used market is the way to go!

Yeah they are a beautiful but fairly understated looking set (with the exception of the bling cable). The best part is they sound as good as they look. I’ve been more of a headphone guy for a while but the convenient form factor, isolation, and sound quality has really won me over on these. Now I feel like a stealth audiophile when I’m out in public wearing them.

Now I will try posting in the correct thread! :blush:

Just got a new toy in today that completes my system, SE/RCA switcher. Now all four amps can use the Schiit Loki, if desired.

No markings around the front knob, but it is a nice clean look.

Got the Elite Hybrids since I much prefer the feel of velour vs leather against my skin

Pretty sure I just got everything in this photo for $200:

90s Onkyo stereo that’s been sitting unused in a beach house for years. Only issue is apparently the right tape deck doesn’t work, but I don’t know any other details. If the turntable and equalizer are serviceable, I’m already well on my way to my starting on my secondary listening setup.

Just waiting on my Loki now. Saw this switch posted in a thread here and liked the look of. Nice and weighty with solid buttons.

How does it work? What is the in and the out?

Mine is either 1-in/4-out or 4-in/1-out.

I run my Loki into mine and then go out to 4 amps:

Well I have not tested yet, but from what I gathered before I bought it, you can have any number of in and out. It just depends on how the buttons are depressed or not to get the signal through there correct chain.

I don’t quite get how it works, but would be interested to hear how you like it.
