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?

While the Aero isn’t necessarily a warm DAC per se, it should certainly be warmer/fuller sounding than your Wiim and a significant improvement across the board. The nice thing about tubes is if you find you want even more warmth you can swap tubes to tailor the sound more to your liking. And my bad, you’re correct the Aero has XLR outputs but does not have a balanced input, which was a curious omission to me unless of course it’s not a fully-balanced design that my guess is it’s not. Anyway, don’t neglect the digital cable between the Wiim and Aero because it can make a huge difference. I’d check with LTA as to which input they prefer but would think it’d be USB. Here are a few solid recommendations that won’t break the bank… https://www.lavricables.com/cables/ultimate-silver-dual-usb-a-b-interconnect-cable/ |
@soix i did check with LTA and yes, USB is most suitable. They are shipping a USB cable with the DAC and reassured me it’s good quality. I don’t know the brand but should I take their word for it? |
@soix this weekend. Will upload a video with the complete setup |
