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

Hi,
has anyone experienced more with the Burson? I'm between that and the Benchmark to run a Primare A30.2 power amp (has balanced inputs). My source will be a Logitech Squeezebox Duet. I'm not too much into headphones, but I might get more interested if the headphone amp is as good as people say.
