The Burmester 232 is one fine integrated amp. It looks like a million dollars. I found it a joy to use, and it operated flawlessly throughout the review period. On the whole, I don’t think the DV2i‑232 combination was quite as revealing as the DV2i-Soulution 511 setup, nor did it have the same dynamic headroom for high volume levels or treacherous loads. However, the basic version of the 232 integrated is much more modestly priced than the Soulution 511 power amp.
Within its power limitations, the Burmester 232 rendered music marginally more beautifully than the Soulution 511. Its reflexes and dynamic range were excellent, with a full frequency response—including truly great bass performance, which is a rare commodity. Its imaging was first-class, although those images were not as wide and deep as those of the DV2i-Soulution 511 pairing. I could listen for long stretches, captivated by the 232’s musicality. There was no trace of amplifier noise, distortion, or compression to detract from its performance. It was a great partner for the reference-level components in my system.
