The Soloist 3X GT is Burson Audio's flagship dual-mono, pure Class-A desktop headphone amplifier and line-stage preamplifier, built around fully discrete V6 Vivid op-amps and dual MUSES72320 volume-control chips instead of off-the-shelf op-amp chips. It is designed as a fully differential, XLR-balanced signal path with two symmetrical mono amplifier sections, delivering up to 10W per channel into low-impedance loads for driving power-hungry planar-magnetic and electrostatic-adjacent headphones.
