The Conductor 3X GT optimises XLR balanced audio performance with a fully differential and discrete signal path. Delivering 10W balanced and 5W Single-ended, it has the power to drive any headphones and enough inputs and outputs to be the command centre of any audio system.
These days, DACs from different brands can sound identical if they use the same DAC chip. This is because they use the same (publicly available) standard circuitry DAC chip makers provide. This approach reduces R&D time, cost and risk. These DACs also use similar parts, opamps, power supplies and working voltage. The resulting sound is unavoidably generic. In the Conductor 3/3X GTs, we tailored a new output stage to utilise the wide bandwidth of our Vivid opamps. Combined with our proprietary Max Current Power Supply, our unique house sound reaches a new level of detail and tonality.
Its digital interface is the most advanced and comprehensive, from its XMOS USB receiver to its Qualcomm Bluetooth module. With a customised driver by Thesycon, Germany, its Xmos USB receiver has unsurpassed processing power and accuracy, perfectly streaming DSD512 and 32bit/768khz audio. It also features a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver Qualcomm/CSR8675 with an aptX HD audio & LDAC codec. It pushes Bluetooth playback beyond CD quality and ease of use to the highest level.
The thumping heart of the Conductor GTs is five sets of Burson Max Current Power Supplies. We are pushing these MCPS to the limits of their potential. So much so that they consume 90W when idle and need active cooling. Although spitting out 10 Watts, the GTs are not tracing power. Instead, they pursue purity!
The V6 Vivid discrete opamps are wildly regarded as the best and used in countless recording studios. The Conductor GT uses 6 Vivid opamps in its fully differential output stage, achieving incredible transparency. However, it still plays to your preference by allowing opamps to change, enabling you to create your own listening experience.
