Burmester 099 ....
Is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I can't wait to hook it up and compare it to my MCD1100 and LIO-8. After I ordered it, I found out it has the same DAC as the Burmester 061 cd player. Maybe I should have ordered the internal DAC for the 077 which is supposed to be the same as the 089. Oh well. I am sure it will be nice. One major advantage to the 099 is that it can be used as a preamp and dac at the same time and can be hooked up to an amp directly.
From the Burmester website: Burmester Audiosysteme GmbH ::: Products Aim of the new Classic Line 099 Preamp/DAC is to take account of the growing popularity of digital sources and to unite picture and sound. It is equipped with six digital inputs – 2 x RCA, 3 x TORX and 1 x USB. Therefore, it is suitable for a multitude of digital sources like digital satellite receivers, gaming consoles or your computer. The sampling rate for the D/A conversion can be selected between 96 kHz/24 bit and 192 kHz/24 bit. External digital sources can be upgraded with the award-winning Burmester D/A converting technology, and thus will smoothly integrate into your highend sound system. The 099 can be used as a full-value preamplifier, using the volume function, or as pre-preamplifier for an existing preamp with fixed volume. In this application, the volume function is out of service. In addition to that, analogue sources can be connected to three balanced analogue inputs. The Classic Line 099 Preamp belongs to a new generation of Burmester products, distinguished by a very low power consumption of less than 1 Watt in Standby mode.

Joe...congrats on the 099
Few questions: 1) List price? 2) I am a bit confused about the sample rates it can accept: 24/96 vs 24/192. Are some of the digital inputs only 24/96 and others 24/192? Also, what are TORX digital inputs? Thx. |

Approx. $11,000. It will accept up to 24/96 and upsample up to 24/192. Still not up to par with the rest of the world but I think the sound quality will make up for it. Plus they can offer upgrades as they see fit. TORX is the same as Toslink. Joe |
