Wyred4Sound DAC2 vs Burson HA160D : who wins?

[Strat-Mangler]

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 bunch!

You're kidding right? The 160D is a horrible mess...the amp is fatally to weak and the DAC is no better than a $200 DIY DAC.

Good to know. No, I wasn't kidding. lol! I was genuinely curious. But thanks for setting the record straight.

No worries. Good news is Burson really made up for the HA160D with the new Soloist/Conductor.
