Hi, been lurking on head-fi for a long time and I intend to get a pair of Sennheiser HD 600 cans but remain undecided on which amp I should use. Both the wa6 and HA-160 are around the same price range and both seem well received. However, I intend to upgrade to the Audeze lcd-2 in the (not so...

As the title says above I am wondering if upgrading my Magni would be worth it.  I currently am using HiFiMan HE-400 headphones and plug those into a schiit Magni that plugs into my titanium HD in my computer via RCA cables.  I was wondering if upgrading my amp would give even more clarity to...

Might be springing for a DAC in the next few months and am wondering which one out of those 2 would sound "better."   Obviously, it's all subjective, but if anybody has had experiences with these units, especially to compare, I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences.   Thanks a...

I will have LCD2s,M-100s,XB1000s,and D7ks as my main cans. I was told that the lyr was way too much power for the D7ks,but i love the tubes! I love how i can just buy some off weird tubes i've never heard of off of ebay and experience new sound for like $20. But if it wont work for most of the...

I'm looking for user recommendations for full size closed phones to use with my bedside Burson HA-160D. I'm currently using a pair of Grado GS1000's which I love the sound of but I'm in for a divorce if I don't replace them with something with less leakage. Can a closed can give a similar sound...

Hi there everyone,   After hours researched the forum, I finally came up with these 3 options for my beloved Senn HD650: The Woo Audio WA3 and WA6 and Burson HA-160. They're in the same price range.   I have read a lot of recommendations about the 650's pair with tubes amp. But I'm...

Hello   I just bought a Bruson audio ha-160d to use as a dac and preamp Is it possible to connect a LP-player directly on the analog inputs?   Or do i need somthing like a phono stage ? (and what does this phono stage ?)   Kind regards

I am deciding to get an amp for my DT990 600ohm. I don't think I want to get a tube amp therefore the two amps that came top of my lists are HA160 and Auditor.   I am wondering if anyone has compared the two, head to head?   Also what does each amp do to the overall tonity if I am going...

I'm seriously considering upgrading my rig soon, I prefer a balanced sound with deep, controlled bass that is smooth and powerful when it needs to be (think: TDK soundtrack) and impactful and tight when it needs to be (think: queen, another one bites the dust). When it comes to mids I want em...

I'll be running Denon 5000s and Sennheiser 650s with the amp. Any recommendations between these two amps? Any other amps I should consider that are better value (same quality, cheaper price?).

I am looking for a desktop amp and my computer will be the source. Which one do you think is the best as I can get them both for about the same price. My headphones are Ultrasone Ed 8, Denon 7000's, AKG Q701's, and HD-800's. Also looking for a high end Grado, I miss my GS1000's. Also which is...

Hi all,   I've just got this combo and its sounds incredible.   I have one question for someone else who has these two.. Is it best to put the LCD-2 in the H or L gain input?   To my ears its sounds slightly weightier and warmer from the High input, but is this safe for the LCD-2? I...

In the UK, the HDP is £300. The 160D, £800 (if the store is even legit, if not, £995).   I was close to pulling the trigger on the 160D earlier today, until I accidentally stumbled upon the HDP. It gets incredible reviews all over the net, from both experienced enthusiasts and industry...

Hello All,   This will be a very silly and stupid question but I'll ask it anyways.   Which socket do I put my earsonic SM3 IEMs into on the front panel of the Burson HD-160D.   There are two 1/4 sockets, one marked with a H and the other with an L.   High and Low I am guessing...

I have a Pre-Amp (Onkyo P3200 PRE-AMP), are pre-amps universally compatible with all amps out there? I was also wondering if this pre-amp would connect to either one of the above? And if so, is it recommended? Last question, which amp is better to drive the LCD-2, I posted this in the LCD-2 Amp...

Hi, I have ordered the Burson HA-160D and was wondering what headphones to get. The AKG 702s are pretty affordable, so that could be an obvious place to start, but I don't want to buy them now and start looking for new headphones again in a few months time,because I realize other headphones...

Does anyone know if this is a good combination? Thanks. T.

I am considering upgrading my system. I currently listen to mainly HD650s through a Headroom Cosmic amp from around 2002. Lately, the source is a Sonos (ALAC) without a separate DAC. I listen to indie, rock and jazz I am debating between the 160d and WA6SE. The 160d would upgrade my amp and...

Which would you choose for this headphone. Anyone have experience with these two amps that would care to comment and lead me in the right direction??

I just wanted to start a thread here compiling my impressions from headfonia of the Burson ha-160D. I hope the next guys that get their loaner ha-160D also post here.   2 Days Ago...   As for now connected as a dac/amp via USB, the ha-160D to me is detailed and clean with a touch of...

I was just informed that I was selected to review the Burson Audio HA-160D for the review amp/DAC in-home for two weeks.  Anyone else was selected?   http://www.headfonia.com/burson-ha-160d-loaner-program/    

Hi there,just received my MK3 JKSPDIF unit connected to my Burson HA-160D with Audeze LCD-2 HP and wanted to listen to some music to try out the MK3. Im using this configuration with my HTPC with Windows 7 at the current moment. I installed the 20db attenuator on the MK3 with the little...

Right now, I am powering my well-broken-in K702s with a Headroom MicroAmp. I'm pretty satisfied with the sound (but the bass extension seems limited) and the comfort of the headphones, which I use only for classical music. I've read some good reviews of the Burson amp. If you have heard the K702...

Just picked up the LCD-2 Now i just need a Amp & DAC.   What are the main differences? Which is your favorite?     Please be straight with your point. Do not include different Amps/DACs and clutter the thread.
