Burmester 061 CD Player

The Burmester 061 CD Player is designed for exceptionally detailed, musical reproduction, combining state-of-the-art engineering with timeless aesthetics. Built around the renowned CD 2 Pro drive technology, it delivers outstanding sonic precision and long-term reliability. Its top-loading, direct-drive design is paired with high-quality analog output stages, ensuring a sound that is both accurate and richly musical. The integrated D/A converter can also be accessed via digital inputs, allowing external digital sources to benefit from the 061’s refined conversion quality.

Visually, the 061 is unmistakably Burmester. From the first glance, it reflects the brand’s Classic Line DNA with clean lines, precision machining, and a confident, understated presence. The solid rolled-aluminium housing adds both visual impact and structural integrity, while the smoothly guided sliding cover makes loading a CD feel deliberate and satisfying — a small ritual that reinforces the high-end experience every time you press play.

Hand-assembled in Burmester’s Berlin factory, the 061 undergoes an intensive manufacturing and quality-control process. Each unit is subjected to nearly 300 computer-aided measurements before and after a seven-day burn-in period, followed by comprehensive listening and functional tests. Only units that show zero deviation progress to final approval, ensuring that every 061 CD Player meets Burmester’s exacting standards before it leaves the factory.
