Burson HA160D or Benchmark Dac1

Anybody heard both products in their system? It seems clear that the Burson is the better headphone amp, but what about the dacs?

I love the Benchmark's resolution, but wish it was a touch more "musical. Knowing Burson, my guess is that their dac may have more warmth and heft, but I haven't heard it.

This would be used with a cd transport, so USB is not an issue at this time. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Kinda torn between the Dac 1 and a Grace M902b for Recording studio use, monitoring and headphones.

Starting to wonder if the Burson should be considered as well.
I tend to lean toward the Grace, but ? Hmmmmm...
