Comparing to my analog setup, there is still a noticable difference, but this player comes with almost zero listening fatigue.
This is one of the very best and most complete CD players I have heard to date and certainly the best single-box design.
The 089 is equipped with analog and digital inputs. There are XLRs and RCA inputs and coax and optical. The unit thus can be used as a preamplifier.
There’s plenty of substance and ability here, and certainly enough to earn a glowing recommendation even at this price
This is an expensive product, but having played with many expensive pieces of audio equipment, this one stands out for its exceptional build quality.
The Burmester 089 is a true luxury product. However, it doesn’t rest on its beautiful appearance, but masterfully plays its role as a competently and sensually acting music broker.
While older preamplifiers like the 011 boast a few unbalanced inputs and a pair of unbalanced variable
outputs, the 088 is balanced throughout and utilizes XLR inputs and outputs.
