Nice info. Here are my initial findings. Setup Galaxy s8 - Bang V6 Vivid - Paradigm Atom v7 or Galaxy s8 - ParadigmShift A2, mp3 files Now comes the amplifier comparison; does classAB truly sound better than classD? Maybe it doesn’t need to be pointed out, but the internal dimensions between...- newdoughboy

My Fun is in. First will be juicy macro shots. Followed by initial impressions. Review with Bang integration will probably be a month away, given that I haven't ordered one yet. Stock unit for initial impressions. Chord Mojo vs Mojo + Fun- newdoughboy

Burson V6 Vivid and V6 Classic Discrete Audio Opamps Discussion and Reviews
That is extremely useful information for any DIYer. I learned the basics when working in a production environment soldering power chords to brand new water pumps. Soldering pcbs are a much harder affair. You need the right tip. The right tools as you've described which I did not have at the...- newdoughboy

Burson V6 Vivid and V6 Classic Discrete Audio Opamps Discussion and Reviews
I played with DIY with Bravo Audio Ocean, upgraded the tube, caps, and mosfet. Issue came when I tried the last mod of soldering the mosfets. The brass ring inside the circuit board came out, and I basically lost $150ish worth of investment. Good learning experience... Now I get professionals...- newdoughboy

Burson V6 Vivid and V6 Classic Discrete Audio Opamps Discussion and Reviews
Nice write up. I was fortunate enough to observe the same thing 8 years ago. That's what really kicked off my audio addiction. Needless to say, I went from spending $2-500 per component to 500-2000 per component now... Dangerous passion this is.- newdoughboy

New: Burson Audio Play Amp/DAC (2W@16Ohm) (op-amp rollers dream)
If you swap opamps often, and are ok with leaving the lid open, then I always use an extra set of burson dips to go with the opamp i'm testing. The extra burson dips doesn't fit as tight and slide in and out super easy without causing too much wear.- newdoughboy

Wow, you guys are intense with your depth of analysis. It's incredible to hear that the Play can compete or exceed the Hugo2 I'm just updating on the usb cord, no to start any debate.

I have a feeling it'll be a major Improvement going to the Burson play. It is going to be quite a lot of extra money, but from an audio quality point of view it is a very where the upgrade for your dollar.- newdoughboy
