Is Burmester 232 worth the price?


Just bought a Burmester 232 integrated amplifier for a hefty price tag. Similar priced models like Accuphase E800 are available for half off on eBay.

 

Did I make a good decision or should I have gone with Accuphase or Esoteric? Pointers are greatly appreciated. Why is Burmester considered ultra high end?

Aero DAC by Linear Tube Audio, located in Maryland. If you upgrade the tubes, this DAC comes out to $4,500. It would sound great with your integrated. 

30 days to try; small restock fee if you decide to send it back.

Congratulations! I'm jealous! 

My next preamp & DAC are from LTA, should be able to pull the trigger early next year as a step up - and likely final - upgrade to those two components.

If you don't want it, I will buy it!

Please provide your feedback on this site once you have assessed the DAC.
