There is a lot of white foam that’s protecting the precious cargo during shipping.Īs usual, I’ll be conducting an in-depth review, trying a bunch of headphones and loudspeakers, commenting on everything I find useful to share with you.Īs usual, everything came double boxed as all high-performance units are coming nowadays. Besides the unit itself that sits in a throne of foam, there is an accessory box nearby that houses: a high-quality aluminum remote, several torx screwdrivers to open its case, an extra fuse, a USB Type-C cable, an external power brick, a power cable that attaches to it and four JRC 5532D op-amps from New Radio Japan. Burson doesn’t recommend using those as they aren’t sounding that great compared to their beefed-up V6 discrete offerings.

With the included USB-C cable found in the package, you can connect it to your PC, MAC or even to your smartphone or tablet, pretty cool right? However, you will need them in case a V6 op-amp is showing signs of age. Oh my, that’s a lot of accessories if you ask me! It is more than enough. I’m pleased the most about the metal remote which can be used in a speaker setup. This is their third generation Timekeeper, but it is the first one that doesn’t follow the same design language of its founding fathers. Burson dressed this one up with a much nicer Cool Case that tripled its surface area, seriously improving its heat dissipation. On the outside it looks pretty much the same with another all-in-one sibling that we reviewed a year ago: the Conductor 3 Reference that was mainly designed for headphone enthusiasts. Burson redesigned its case from the ground up and used every internal square inch at maximum potential. It’s fully stocked with some of the best components in a shiny aluminum case.
The fins that are wrapping it entirely are working as a huge heat sink for its output transistors. The threaded volume wheel has a nice grip to it and it reminds me a lot about my tactical flashlights – another hobby of mine. Burson hid all the screws on its back panel, for a much cooler look. Naturally, the case was milled on a CNC machine, exposing its raw aluminum look, that fits it like a glove. It has some decent sized rubber feet underneath it, but since it always works in Class-A, dissipating a lot more heat to traditional amplifiers, I recommend elevating it further for a better ventilation.
