Burmester 151 MK2 Top Line Streaming DAC Preamplifier

Burmester 151 MK2 Top Line Streaming DAC Preamplifier

Outstanding quality and unbelievably fast data-processing best describe the 151 MK2 Musiccenter. As part of Burmester’s Top Line, this high-end multi talent administers your music library, connects you to Internet radio or plays music directly from a USB stick.

151 MK2 Musiccenter
The 151 Musiccenter is the ‘little brother’ of the Reference Line 111 Musiccenter and functions as a high-end music server. As with the reference product 111, it combines outstanding sonic characteristics with extraordinarily fast processing of even significant amounts of data.

The 151 Musiccenter can be operated with a fixed output level into an existing system using a preamplifier, or alternatively using its variable output section and connected directly into power amplifiers or active loudspeakers.

In addition to the knowledge gained from the development of the Reference Line 111 Musiccenter – and our experience since its launch – ideas, requests and suggestions from our customers in particular have been taken into account in order to develop a device that guarantees the highest level of acceptance and customer satisfaction.

With attention to detail.
Recognisable as a typical Burmester even from the very first glance, the 151 MK2 Musiccenter makes use of characteristic design elements of the Top Line.

Design
The design of this product highlight incorporates the timeless design language familiar from Burmester devices through its clean lines and characteristic chrome front. Thus, the 151 Musiccenter perfectly fits into the ranks of Burmester components both sonically and visually.

Handmade
Moving into the era of digital music reproduction Burmester still relies heavily on the care and quality of hand assembly in the production of the new music servers 111 and 151. Because Burmester believes that only with the combination of cutting-edge technology, carefully selected top-quality parts and the traditional values of craftsmanship can the goal of absolute sound be achieved.
