Rega vs Burson Dac


I've recently been listening to the Burson 160D headphone amp and dac. I'm amazed at it's price performance ratio, and while it's a great headphone amp, the dac is also very impressive. Has anyone heard both the Burson and the new Rega dac? A trusted friend believes the Rega is the best in it's price range, and while I have no doubt that it's good, I'd be curious to get comments from someone who has actually compared it with the Burson.

Singleendedsingle,
I haven't heard the latest Rega...but your comments re/neutrality don't surprise me. Rega IMHO has never sounded neutral to my ears. They HAVE been remarkably consistant with their voicing though, to their credit.

The average consumer who hasn't dabbled in circuitry can't imagine the diversity/predictably so, of sound that one can 'engineer' into an audio piece...after experimentation, one can predict and create pretty reliably.
Kudos to Burson for such great gear for what most of us would seem to think is budget pricing.

Good listening,
Larry
