Quieter Than Battery Power
To reproduce your favourite songs with perfect clarity, you need clean DC power. The Playmate 3 features the Burson Silent Power (SP) Modules, each with a noise filtering rate over 200 times better than standard regulators. This ensures every tiny detail in your music is crystal clear and noise-free.
Super Charge or Go Fusion!
The Playmate 3’s performance elevates with an upgraded power supply. The Burson Super Charger operates at a higher frequency than conventional units, reducing DC noise and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. The Burson Fusion Core, powered by advanced GaN transistors operating above 1 MHz, provides up to 480W, making it one of the most advanced power supplies in audio—with a striking design.
These optional upgrades further reduce DC noise, allowing for a deeper exploration of micro-details, revealing more texture, decay, and acoustic nuances between instruments and vocals.

The Playmate 3 is designed for endless upgradability, ready to elevate your listening experience! Its signature sound comes from Burson’s discrete opamps, while Silent Power Modules deliver pristine power filtering. Want even more power? Add the Super Charger or Fusion Core to amp up the energy!
