Quote: It shouldn't be all that different to the sound of 160D, but will need to A/B when I get the chance. I personally like the stepped attenuator, while someone mentioned to me that it, being a contact joint, is prone to wear. Other differences include one input instead of three, lack...

Quote: You're trying to get me in trouble, asking me to weigh in on this. My answer is yes, but with most solid state stuff in my experience the improvement can be (but not always, you can see I'm quite careful with my words here) quite pronounced up to the 100~200 mark. After that the...

Have tried the DAC-200 against the Burson 160D. Go with the Burson. The DAC-200 doesn't have the clarity for me. It does have pretty rate sampling display. Has that Nextel coat stuff like Violectric V200.
