- Burl B2 Bomber DAC Review: Holy Sh**, This is Good
The Solaris soundstage is deep, placed behind the wall I don't think this translated well with headphones because soundstages that are too far deep don't exhibit instrument depth localization in headstage The Burl B2 Bomber's stage is moderately deep, but not so deep that instrument depth is lost with headphones
- Burl B2 Bomber DAC Review: Holy Sh**, This is Good
Hello, I’m still enjoying my burl b2 bomber dac but I’ve been considering going portable, so she might be looking for a new home Gungrave , Jul 7, 2022 #108
- Burl B2 Bomber DAC Review: Holy Sh**, This is Good
The overall tonality of the B2 Bomber is slightly warm By slightly , I mean quite a bit less warm than something like the Bifrost 2 There is a smidgen of outward warmth (give the DAC's output stage a few minutes to warm up) in terms of upper bass to lower mids

Burl B2 Bomber DAC THD+N vs Input (dbFS)-8dBu output setting or 12dBu max output (GRN RED)-18dBu output setting or 22dBu max output (BLU ORA) The lower output at the -8db setting results in overall higher THD+N (it's the noise floor) than the -18dBu setting, but the distortion harmonics are overall lower and don't climb up as high

In this case you would use the B2 as the master clock, or “slave” the B2 and the streamer to an external clock, if you have one If your B2 has the Dante input, then you can set it to use its internal clock and have Dante use that clock The streamer source will be “slaved” to the B2 clock That’s how I use mine when I want to be serious
- iFi Zen DAC V2 Review (including impressions on Signature version)
There's also bit of that vintage saturation thing going when the signal hits peak levels (I'm betting a uplift in THD as we get near and toward 0dbFS) A bit like the Burl B2 Bomber DAC, but with the Burl's output level turned down a bit In terms of presentation, the Zen DAC V2 reminds me most of the Burl
- Burl B2 Bomber DAC Review: Holy Sh**, This is Good
The Burl B2 is a very pro oriented DAC, and thus doesn't have any single-ended RCA phono outputs It only has balanced outputs The balanced outputs are very hot (pro voltage levels), however, there is a knob that allows you to set the maximum output level at 5 detents ranging only 10db
- Burl B2 Bomber DAC Review: Holy Sh**, This is Good
I have a Burl B2 Bomber DAC and have been listening to it since December 2018 using Dante with the BOPA1 and have upgraded to the BOPA8 by calling Burl and ordering a pair I'll say your observation is pretty close to mine The BOPA8 needed a little break in time but it does have more depth and is sharper
- Burl B2 Bomber DAC Review: Holy Sh**, This is Good
B2 is less resolving with less deep stage with less precise imaging, neutral with flair (vintage saturation sound at peaks - how I've set it up) By contrast A2 is organic, hard-hitting, and incisive (which I found to be great with the Koss ESP950)
- Burl B2 Bomber DAC Review: Holy Sh**, This is Good
Energy levels of upper mids and highs of B2 were actually comparable to that of Gungnir A2 Again, some internal warmth with B2, but not an outright warm DAC, at the -12db output setting at least Tape machine or vintage sound doesn't mean it's going to be rolled or polite! The loaner unit just came in I expect the BOPA1 discrete opamp modules
