Burson Audio Playmate Everest V6

I purchased this directly from Burson in March. Given that these are configurable there are quite a few combinations that you can have with mixing and matching their Op Amps. This unit is known as their 'Everest' model and it has two pairs of their best Op Amps - 2 Vivid and 2 Classics. The regular model has none of their upgraded Op Amps and then they have multiple versions with 2 of one or 2 of the other. This model according to them is the 'sweet spot' and most versatile with all genres of music or dialogue etc. I used for a few weeks but decided to go with a Tube Amp instead. There is a lot of power a 2W and it has an awesome DAC as well. All specs can be found on their website.

If the SABRE32/ESS9038 chip is the soul of Playmate, then the Burson Max Current Power Supply, MCPS, is the heart that brings Playmate to life. Debuted in the Burson Play, our proprietary MCPS overcomes the deficiencies of both traditional transformer-based linear power supplies and conventional switching power supplies. It redefines the size and performance ratio and it is the reason why Head-Fiers fell in love with the Play instantly.

With the Playmate, we have a further enhanced MCPS. It delivers even cleaner power. Tuned to Class-A, the Playmate shines from a pitch-black background.

Opamp rolling is a major part of the audiophile hobby. There are countless online discussions dedicated to it. It offers the opportunity to compare and appreciate different sonic performance in your own comfort zone and it is a valuable opportunity to develop listening preference and taste.

Facilitating opamp rolling in all stages on the signal path, the Playmate develops according to your preference.

The Playmate is taking your desktop experience to a new level. With a pitch black background and two levels of gains, the Playmate is perfect with any headphones. With its Optical Toslink input, the Playmate works with any motherboard, sound card and gaming console with ease.
