Maximum Performance

The Composer is a testimony to the less-is-more design approach. Namely a short signal path yields accuracy and clean power yields transparency.

The entire audio signal path of the Composer is about the size of two stamps. This symmetrical fully balanced signal path is free from inferior IC opamps. Instead it uses Burson V6Vivid discrete opamps which are widely regarded as the best sounding in the world.

The quality of power is as vital to audio amplification as the quality of water in cooking. That’s why we are dedicating the rest of the product footprint to power regeneration. The Composer features four Burson proprietary Max Current Power Supplies (MCPS). They raise voltage frequency from 50Hz to 170kHz pushing noise beyond human hearing. The result is a transparent sound with incredible micro-details.  [+] Learn More

A Timeless Classic

But hang on! Don’t a lot of high-end DACs use ESS9038 and Xmos and lots of DACs claim to use high-end parts. Without a glowing tube output a porthole to peek at it and a fancy DSP sales pitch what makes the Composer unique!?

Every music composer works with the same set of notes. Those with the right focus and experience create timeless classics by arranging them in the right way. Those wanting to shock and collect “likes” those using focus groups to put together designs instead of using their hearts usually create something forgettable. The Composer 3X Performance is excellent because we did the hard yards. It sounds incredible in the old school way and we know it is a classic.
