About the 077

The Burmester Audio 077 is a high-end, fully balanced stereo preamplifier created as a 30th-anniversary model. It uses a dual-mono, largely Class-A, DC-coupled architecture with Burmester X-Amp2 amplification stages and no capacitors in the main signal path. The 077 supports two-zone operation, surround-processor throughput, programmable input sensitivity and labels, phase inversion, remote control, and two independently configurable headphone outputs. It was originally available with an internal or external power supply; later production was offered primarily as a two-box configuration with an external Reference Line power supply. Its modular input bay can accept a line-level, MM phono, MC phono, or DAC module. The optional DAC module provides USB and coaxial digital inputs, with coaxial support up to 24-bit/192 kHz and USB support reported up to 16-bit/48 kHz. The Burmester 077 is listed as a current product by Burmester, although availability and configuration may vary by market.
