The B32 Vancouver's BX5 Transformer, 4 Channels at a Time
The BDA4 follows the success of the B2 Bomber DAC and BDA8, pairing the NextGen BOPA14 discrete, class-A op-amp with the renowned BX5 output transformer from the B32 Vancouver mix bus. Engineers who've heard the BX5 in the B32 for the first time tend to have the same reaction: it simply makes things sound bigger, phatter, deeper - better.
Route a BDA4 into a BAD8 or BAD4 and you get results similar to running a digital mix through a 2-track analog tape machine, but with higher dynamic range, more headroom and none of the tape hiss.
“When the music needs to sound FAT, the BURL BDA4 is my go-to DAC. Feeding an analog loop with this beast enhances 3D depth and weight with a smooth clear top end and sweet midrange!” – Justin Weis, Trakworx
