This is what I'm looking for. However how do they compare going straight into an amp, as a pre amp/dac, as this is how I would use them (at least initially).
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
