Playmate 2
Burson Audio
The Playmate 2 is Burson Audio’s latest iteration of their introductory headphone DAC/Amp, built on the company’s philosophy around customizable sound and Class A amplification. With four modular opamps on board, you’re in total control of how the music reaches your headphones. The included USB-C and Toslink inputs allow you the flexibility to stream music from any laptop, phone, or even TV to your listening setup.
Compatibility
Power and flexibility
Not only does the Playmate feature a powerful 3 watt per channel Class-A headphone amp, it also is designed to adapt to your listening preferences. With four discrete audio opamps and a host of interchangeable variations (including Burson’s own industry leading designs), the Playmate 2 has the ability to adjust to your exact desires in a headphone amp.
A pretty, cool chassis
The Playmate 2’s custom designed and precision machined enclosure has a trick up its sleeve: it’s also a fully functional heat sink. This allows for a unique and striking visual aesthetic on the outside while keeping the powerful Class-A electronics cool on the inside.
Small and capable
The Playmate 2 features a standard USB-C port for dongle-free connections to most modern computers and a Toslink optical port for even more flexibility. This DAC/Amp also features traditional analog outputs, and a unique microphone input designed specifically for PC gaming needs.
