Excellent upgrades for older units

I won't repeat what the previous reviewer has stated. I used my Burson opamps in a variety of older units. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can "upgrade" the sound to another level. Cheaper than investing another grand or so on a modern upgrade. I use the Burson V4, V5I, V5, and V6. Good stuff.

this was put into my asus xonar hdav, replacing the burson v5i which had replaced a dual mounted opa627 which was my first opamp to "roll" the supplied one in the card... and thus do addictions begin i spent probably little more than a few hours thus far with it, running flac files from the home theatre to a nad d3020 which drives a pair of wharfedale 10.1's and a 10.gx 10" active sub, essentially a room appropriate 2.1 system which purists would define as "entry level hifi" compared to the v5i, i initially thought it sounded a bit "thin" in comparison, but eventually realised that what i thought was less sound was actually more distinct separate sounds without any indistinct filling padding the gaps the soundstage is as wide as the v5i, but the mix seems to be much flatter across the frequencies in comparison indeed, the bass seemed less pronounced, but with noticeably more attack, and even clearer than the already impressive v5i punches; midrange had the same abilities, but on further listening it became more obvious that not all tracks have the same effect - and it slowly dawned on me that i was hearing variations that were likely entirely what the different engineers had intended, that weren't previously rendered that noticeable reproduction is different, and with a bit of readjustment for that, better for the most part- there are things in the music that i have never noticed before (or hadn't been able to notice might be a better interpretation), and all the components of the mix are just "there" clearly and in a balanced way that is not like i had previously been hearing them, although the v5i was a very happy option for listening too my only complaint would be that some of my well listened tracks were revealed to have deficiencies - the flac rip of miles davis' "flamenco sketches" quite obviously showed the background noise of the original vinyl, which was a new discovery, and bowie's "life on mars" seemed to breathe like there was some weird compression happening - but i confess the volume was ramped beyond my usual listening levels for that one, and maybe the hardware needs a period of burn in to fully do its stuff (and that was about the third track i played after fitting the opamp) i am quite happy to admit that i'm not sure that burn in is actually a thing, but time will tell if those tracks improve, or possibly i get better at ignoring any deficiencies and instead just hear the music overall, the v5 is a distinct step up from the v5i, which i was sorta expecting, but it took me by surprise anyway the v5i is no slouch, but i'm a contented buyer of its big sibling so far my only problem will be that i know the v6 is out there, and even more problematic, i know there's 2 variations of it... and we all know how that ends once you've got the itch
