Burson Audio Conductor 3X GT, R-181X Headphone Amp / DAC Selling my Conductor 3X GT all-in-one Amp, DAC & Pre-amp due to an impending upgrade to my headphone setup. Considered to be in "excellent" condition due to no visible scratches, marks or blemishes on the case. Has been a brilliant all-in-one Amp/DAC since its purchase and has performed flawlessly with no faults. The Amp/DAC comes with all original packaging and accessories including both the original power supply and the upgraded 5A Super Charger power supply. The 5A Super Charger power supply has a very tiny bend in one of its wall
A$2,240 is fair-to-good, not a steal, but it’s still a solid buy if the unit is clean and complete. A used example has been listed at A$2,100 against an A$3,199 RRP/MSRP, so A$2,240 sits in the same sensible band rather than looking ambitious.
The attraction here is the Burson formula: big Class-A-style drive, a fully balanced desktop layout, and a DAC/amp combo that’s widely liked for strong dynamics, good stage size, and a lively, detailed presentation. If this one is original-owner, lightly used, and includes the box, remote, and accessories, that adds real value on a premium all-in-one where condition and completeness matter more than on cheaper gear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Burson Audio emerged in 1996 in Melbourne, Australia, from a collective of passionate audiophiles united by a pursuit of audio perfection. What began as a labor of love—pooling expertise in engineering, technology, and music for personal enjoyment—evolved into a commercial venture by 2005 with the release of their debut products. This grassroots origin underscores their unwavering commitment to innovative, no-compromise designs unbound by mass-market constraints.
The brand specializes in high-performance categories like Class-A headphone amplifiers, DACs, pre- and power amplifiers, and discrete op-amps, alongside integrated solutions such as the Conductor and Soloist series. Signature innovations include custom-designed op-amps, fully IC-free Class-AB amplifiers like the Timekeeper with its linear power supply, and the proprietary Max Current Power Supply (MCPS) technology. Their minimalist circuits prioritize transparency and power, often featuring high-current mono blocks and discrete components for audiophile-grade reproduction.
Burson occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end hi-fi market, revered by head-fi enthusiasts and discerning listeners for meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional sound quality. Independent and innovative, they stand apart through engineering excellence that challenges conventions, earning a global reputation among those seeking authentic, boundary-pushing audio without corporate dilution.
