From Burson Audio

With its sleek design and powerful performance, the Playmate 3 combines a high-performance ESS9039 DAC with 768kHz and DSD512 capability, a high-current headphone amp, and a remote-controlled preamp—delivering an exceptional listening experience.

The Playmate 3 packs the same high-performance DNA as Burson Audio's flagship Conductor GT4! With the same advanced DAC output stage, single-ended headphone amplifier, and support for OpAmp rolling and Silent Power module upgrades, it delivers flagship-level performance in every detail.

Class-A Headphone Amp

The Playmate 3 operates at a 30W idling bias, delivering 3 watts per channel with precise Class-A audio and robust power, thanks to our Max Current Power Supply.

Connect Them All

Easily connect the Playmate 3 to phones, laptops, or streamers via XMOS USB-C, supporting native DSD512 and 32-bit/768kHz audio. Additionally, it’s Roon Tested, ensuring seamless connectivity with Roon Ready devices.

HD mic input for PC gaming, optical input for gaming consoles, and optional remote preamp for movie nights. Sounds good whatever you do.

Quieter Than Battery Power

To reproduce your favorite songs with perfect clarity, you need clean DC power. The Playmate 3 features the Burson Silent Power (SP) Modules, each with a noise filtering rate over 200x better than standard regulators. This ensures every tiny detail in your music is crystal clear and noise-free.

Super Charge or Go Fusion

The Playmate 3’s performance elevates with an upgraded power supply. The Burson Super Charger operates at a higher frequency than conventional units, reducing DC noise and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. The Burson Fusion Core, powered by advanced GaN transistors operating above 1 MHz, provides up to 480W, making it one of the most advanced power supplies in audio—with a striking design.

These optional upgrades further reduce DC noise, allowing for a deeper exploration of micro-details, revealing more texture, decay, and acoustic nuances between instruments and vocals.

Playmate Your Way

The Playmate 3 is designed for endless upgradability, ready to elevate your listening experience! Its signature sound comes from Burson’s discrete OpAmps, while Silent Power Modules deliver pristine power filtering. Want even more power? Add the Super Charger or Fusion Core to amp up the energy! The Playmate 3 effortlessly adapts to your style, combining high performance with timeless sophistication.
