The Burmester 111 Musiccenter represents the ultimate statement for digital music playback, seamlessly integrating a reference-grade music server, CD ripper/player, high-end D/A converter, and a fully analogue preamplifier into a single Reference Line masterpiece. Designed with a dual-section chassis architecture, it galvanically isolates the digital server environment from the sensitive analogue preamplifier and D/A conversion stages, powered by Burmester's state-of-the-art X-Amp 3 output modules. Outfitted with mirrored SSD storage in RAID 1 for absolute data redundancy, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), and full integration with TIDAL, Qobuz, HIGHRESAUDIO, and Internet Radio, the 111 delivers instantaneous access to massive music libraries. Enclosed in 56 pounds of precision-milled aluminum with iconic mirror-chrome accents and a vivid 7-inch display, this handcrafted Berlin icon provides unmatched clarity, effortless dynamics, and an unprecedented level of digital convenience.

The German company Burmester Audiosysteme GmbH, founded in Berlin in 1977 by Dieter Burmester, sets the global benchmark for high-end audio technology. To this day, it remains an independent family-run business that combines uncompromising engineering, handcrafted production at its Berlin workshop and an unmistakable design featuring chrome front panels. It has a long history of firsts – from the world’s first modular preamplifier to the first belt-driven CD player. In 2005, it became the first high-end manufacturer to enter the automotive world, and today its sound can be heard in Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari cars.
Its product range includes pre-amplifiers and power amplifiers, phono pre-amplifiers, CD and network players, turntables, mains conditioners and loudspeaker systems. More than 95 per cent of the components come from German manufacturers, and every unit undergoes a seven-day burn-in period before dispatch, involving more than 300 computerised measurements and a final listening test. Burmester products are designed to last for decades – they are reliable, repairable and ready for future upgrades.
