From the Burson product Brochure
The Soloist is our first NEW head-amp since 2009. And we know, just like the HA-160, it will become a Benchmark for years to come.
A New FET Input Stage
Staying true to our less is more design principle, the input stage of the Soloist has only 21 components on the signal path. That’s almost 60% less components than any IC opamp output stage and 30% less than our own
HA-160.
A new variable output stage
With the new VOS, headphone listeners are able to select different levels of output power to match their
headphones. From a low level output of 0.18Wpc to 4Wpc, the Soloist will ensure plenty of fine control for every type of headphone.
As a preamp, the Soloist provides 3 levels of gain to the preamp output from 7db to 18db. It ensures perfect
matching with any power amps.
A new step attenuator volume control
We have redesigned a gain curve for the attenuator. Combining it with the new VOS and control is always perfect.
