Burson Swing And Playmate
Burson has announced the Playmate USB DAC with 2 W headphone amp and preamp, plus the Swing which is a USB DAC and preamplifier. Both will be available from January 1st, with pre-orders being taken now.
Playmate uses the SABRE32/ESS9038 chip and Burson’s own Max Current Power Supply. Burson say the MCPS “overcomes the deficiencies of both traditional transformer-based linear power supplies and conventional switching power supplies”. With 4 changeable opamps and 7 sound filters, Playmate can be tuned to your listening preference.
Swing is Dual mono and Class-A and also uses the ESS9038 DAC. Swing features 6 sets of Burson Max Current Power Supply and has 4 changeable opamps and 7 sound filters too.
