Both are desktop amplifiers, $2799 against $3798. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?
On raw power they are level: each reaches 100 dB on 567 of the 567 non-electrostatic models here.
| Specification | Burson Soloist 3X GT | Holo Audio Bliss KTE |
|---|---|---|
| Power into 32Ω | 4.0 W | 3.0 W |
| Power into 150Ω | 650 mW | 600 mW |
| Power into 300Ω | 320 mW | 300 mW |
| Power into 600Ω | 160 mW | 150 mW |
| Output impedance | 0.5 Ω | 1.0 Ω |
| Output noise | 1.5 µV unverified | not published |
| Price | $2799 | $3798 |
| Headphones it reaches 100 dB on out of 567 | 567 | 567 |
A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.
On power they are interchangeable across this whole database: there is no headphone here that one reaches 100 dB on and the other does not.
14 headphones are left alone by the Burson Soloist 3X GT under the one-eighth rule but coloured by the Holo Audio Bliss KTE (64 Audio Nio, 64 Audio Volur, Campfire Audio Andromeda 2023, 11 more).
567 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.
Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: Burson Soloist 3X GT and Holo Audio Bliss KTE. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
