You should also consider a Matrix mini-i. It sounds great, built well and extremely flexable. And, it cost about 1/4 of the other units.
Burson HA160D or Benchmark Dac1
Anybody heard both products in their system? It seems clear that the Burson is the better headphone amp, but what about the dacs?
I love the Benchmark's resolution, but wish it was a touch more "musical. Knowing Burson, my guess is that their dac may have more warmth and heft, but I haven't heard it.
This would be used with a cd transport, so USB is not an issue at this time. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
