Hi HF, I'm selling my Burson HA 160-DS. I'm located in Melbourne Australia but can post internationally if the buyer is interested. The amp is in very good condition and works 100%. I bought it at around $900 AUD. Selling it for $700. PM If interested.

Quote: Yep, plug and play :D

Quote: Haha, thats allright, i know its a lot to shell out for an amp, and i was worried about the issue of whether it would drive the HD 650's as i had heard people had trouble. I read up and found out that apparently the HA-160D was designed with the 650's in mind. No question about...

Quote: I dont know where you're getting these numbers from :/. I checked the AtoA site and they are both listed at 250mW. I think you are looking for a defect :D. The amp has no issues powering the HD 650's dont worry!  

Quote: I'm probably about 10 hours in burn in wise, and i have noticed that the amp has relaxed a bit, the mids seem to been increasing in quality, and the bass is increasingly tightening without it reducing the impact. I am going away for the weekend and have left the amp in the...

Quote: Thats good, i'm let it burn in over the weekend like crazy. should get like 40 hours clocked up. its such a good looking amp too. love that volume knob  

Quote: Haha, good to see you representing on Head-Fi. Definitely worth the price tag. Does burn in actually make a difference? i've heard both sides of the argument.   

Quote: How nice is the unit! I cant wait till its burnt in. 

  Quote:   I think that's because the 160D has a pre-amp? It is definetaly enough to drive HD 650's. They make the 650's sing   EDIT:   Just checked the Burson site, they are both "Output power: 200mW/300 Ohms, 800mW/60 Ohms"

Second day is going well, havent really had a chance to burn it in much, but the thing that i have noticed the most difference between running the headphones straight off my computer is just the clarity of music. The instruments have just separated so much more and they are so much easier to...

Well i just picked a 160DS up, first one they sold :D. i'll let you guys know over the next few days how it burns it/how it sounds. First impressions are amazing, the bass and mid range and just so luscious and just hang over my ears. It has actually also tightened the bass up very nicely too...

I emailed the sales department and they said the 160DS will be ready when the distributor returns from Can Jam, i'm guessing in a few days or so.

i'm pretty sure its available right now, i just dont think they updated their site yet. i'm going to purchase one in the next few days so i'll let you know if its available.

I'm looking into buying this one, it looks like a good solution for someone with just a simple setup in mind. i'm wondering if the DAC/amp quality is on par with the 160D?

I called the shop which supplies melbourne with them and they only have the HA160 amp. I'm gonna go in today and test it out and see how much of a diff it makes to my sennies. i think i like burson, seems like their products are solid.

Sad i missed out :(. How do we find out when the next ones are up and coming?

Hi Head-Fi,   It seems like this question has been asked very many times, and i have spent a good amount of time reading through these other threads and have come to a conclusion and hopefully people can help me.   Firstly i'm from melbourne and am wondering if anyone know anywhere i...

so i compared my amp to multiple sources last night. i hooked it up to my mates CD player and the static was actually worse than my laptop. i also tried my iphone and its exactly the same as my laptop. from here i see that i have a few options, use some deoxit to clean the connections and plugs...

Would any specific lubrication be necessary? i will have to wait a few weeks to get my soundcard as it is at home, but tonight i will go back and compare the noise it makes when connected to other sources, i.e. my iphone and a CD player if i can find one. how do i check the bias? i googled it...

  Quote: i dont get any hissing when i plug my headphones directly into my mac book though, could it still be my computer? how do i clean inside the RCA jacks and what do i use as the cleaning agent. would a DAC help clean up the signal?    

Quote: Im connecting them into the AUX section of the amp. i went through all three and this one has the least amount of distortion. i have an external sound card at home, so i might grab that and connect them up and see if that makes a difference. the RCA cable is only about 20 bucks...

Quote:     Im connecting my laptop to the amp using a normal small headphone jack to RCA cable. I spoke to someone at JB HIFI and he said it was the power supply. i dont really know if they know what they are talking about. 

bump - Another thing, i have a pretty low quality cable connecting my laptop to the amplifier, will this be degrading the sound quality and maybe causing the output of the amp to be a bit less clear than it could be?

Yeah when the headphones are plugged straight into my computer there is no hiss at all, or at least about 90% reduced. I'm also curious as to whether adding the equaliser into my setup will do anything? will it reduce or increase the quality if its just plugged in and no setttings are changed?

Got this bad boy of out my dad's garage. It's about 20 years old, probably cost about 1500 dollars in today's money.    Heres a pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/canadagaragesale/5671650738/   I recently bought a pair of HD 650's and am enjoying them immensely. I'm just curious if it...
