I borrowed the 160 from my local dealer for a few days. Sadly I was unimpressed. Tried a few different power cords etc., and could not get it to sound good. Decidedly mid-fi in my view despite the 'professional' reviews.
I say sadly, because the choices at that price point are very limited. Just recently sold the Naim v1/nap 100 combo - about the same price. Again not impressed. Have finally settled on a McIntosh D150 digital pre, which is excellent. Pick a power amp to suit your tastes.
