I received my John Kenny MK3 a week ago and while the unit connected to my Burson HA-160D sounds good with 16-bit/44.1 khz files there's weird problems with 88.2 khz,96 khz and 192 khz files.I'm hearing music through my Audeze LCD-2 HP but there's a crackling,scraping and wooshing sound even...

Comments keep the ball rolling :)

Hi all. I'm an ex-headfier who's coming back to the game. The itch have returned and I now must get a new set of headphones. My musical background is mainly rock - guitar driven music, from old school rock n' roll, alternative, progressive and heavy metal.   Now for the technical part. My...

Hi   I ordered a Burson Audio HA160D since I could have a demo model at a good price and it seemed like a very good choice.   I am looking for a great headphone (preferable not more than 1200 dollars) to pair with it (for now I use the BW P5 on Ipod but I want something better for my...

Is the Burson HA-160D (dac + headphone amp combo) essentially a Burson DA-160 (DAC) plus a HA-160 (headphone amp)?   Or is one (or both) of the DAC section or headphone amp component inferior in quality in the combo as opposed to the standalone units?   And is it's overall sound quality...

There are strangenesses in behavior of mine Burson HA-160D. At switching-on and shut-down in earphones small chinks as at loudness regulation chinks are audible at each step of the attenuator (a step - click) which loudness depends on the installed loudness are audible. It is normal? Or spoilage?

I've heard the Zodiac (basic) headphone amp stage is no slouch. With the sale, it's comparable priced to the Burson HA-160D DAC/Pre-amp/Amp combo.    Anyone have any thoughts on using the Zodiac DAC vs the Burson for a complete DAC/Amp solution??

I've just acquired the Burson amp and I have the wonderful HD800s but now I need a nice SACD deck. I'll pay up to US$1500 or more if you can persuade me.        

I have a pair of K702 and have ordered myself a Schiit Bifrost. In the future I will probably get myself a pair of HD800, which is why they're in the title. Now comes the amp decision. The forerunners are the Burson HA-160 and Schiit Lyr.   Regarding the Lyr: I am apprehensive about tubes in...

I'm looking to buy some LCD2s and I'm having trouble deciding on which route I should go.  I'm leaning towards the HA160D because it is an all in one solution and slightly cheaper.  I'm coming from ATH-900 through a Zonar DX

Has these two been comparied with each other?  Need to know which one will works well with T1's, HD650's and D7000.

Greetings all, first, thanks to everyone who takes the time to post on this forum in any category. I've been a long time lurker, and I've learned much in my time here.   I searched for a similar problem to mine with no avail, hence the new thread. As the subject indicates, I can't get 96...

Hi guys and dolls, what DAC are you using? I would like some recommendations on getting a DAC. So far I've been thinking about the Audiogd dac19dsp1. Or is it better for me just go to with the HA-160DS headphone amp and DAC? I shall be using the LCD2 headphones.  ...

Hello Head-Fiers,   Could anyone tell me the BURSON HA160 fuse specifications? Slow Blow, Fast Blow, Amperage? I searched and couldn't find this information.   Thanks, JC.

Hello,   Is there anyone who has listened to these both? I'm looking to buy the HD800 with a Meridian g08 and use them for classical music 60%, jazz 30%. I can't afford a good tube amp inside the EU, so I am considering one of these two. I can buy the Burson new for 590 $ or the...

Can anyone suggest a decent DAC for the Burson amp please? I am thinking about getting a burson amp, not sure if i should go for the 160DS, or to get a DAC + HA-160.   Many thanks 

So recently I've acquired an HE-500 and I am running it off of the high gain headphone port on my HA-160D   Impressions:   Bass is very impactful and deep.  It seems like there is more bass with the HE-500 than there was with the LCD-2 r1s in this pairing, however the bass is not as...
