In tracking, nothing is true to the source. The source is the source, it's in 3d, it's real. So it's a matter of presenting the source. The Burl has a musical transformer color that gives what you'd want to hear from a transformer in the low end and the midrange, and in so doing can help to present a lot of sources for a lot of styles of music in a really good light. Particularly the rock/pop, folk, blues, jazz camp ... the world where distortion is not the enemy and transformers are often the remedy to 20-20k and third order harmonic smear.
For smooth jazz or classical music best to look elsewhere for your 'perfect' converter. Similarly, as a mastering converter it's too colored for most things as it's transformer density clouds dense program material. But for most recording it's a strong contender as a front end AD. You can't get some sources presented the same via processing, and this is one of those cases IMO.
