The BDA8, 8-channel digital-to-analog daughter card for the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP is the result of over 25 years of R&D D/A design experience and thousands of hours of listening tests. Following on the success of the B2 BOMBER DAC, the BDA8 utilizes the same digital-to-analog conversion technology as the B2 BOMBER DAC coupled with the BURL AUDIO proprietary BOPA14 discrete, class-A op amp. The combination is a sound that is real, open and huge.

BURL Audio is adds its new line of BURL NextGen Analog circuits to the BDA8. The BURL NextGen Analog circuits raise the bar of excellence in pro audio analog electronics fidelity. In addition to this upgrade, the BDA8 also includes Avid delay matching, upgraded heat dissipation and filter select options via various jumper settings.The new designs feature tighter bass and higher definition throughout the audio spectrum. Instruments and mixes have a more 3D sound, with wider stereo image and even more depth while preserving the original shape and harmonic balance of the source. If you thought the current BURL Audio products sounded great, these enhanced analog designs are sure to blow your mind.
