FS: Burson Soloist (modified - powered by SilentSwitcher)

For sale: Burson Soloist headphone amp
Asking price 350EUR
Shipping: Preferably inside EU (Unit weight is ca 4.5kg (10lbs), so it could cost upto 30EUR)

I upgraded a Burson Soloist Headphone amp with Jan Didden's Silent Switcher. The unit can now be powered from 5V battery bank or from a 5V AC/DC wall supply (I can include a suitable MeanWell One). Power need is about 1.75A/5V and thats constant due to class-A design of the circuit.

The comparison measurement (done with REW and RTX6001) to the Innerfidelity review shows the benefits of new power supply. Mains related peaks are basically gone.

The unit has a good sound and the gain settings of 1.1dB / 7.1dB and 11.5dB are useful to match the amp to various heaphones. All the input switching and gain switching functions work just as in original design.
