Is Burmester 232 worth the price?

Just bought a Burmester 232 integrated amplifier for a hefty price tag. Similar priced models like Accuphase E800 are available for half off on eBay.

 

Did I make a good decision or should I have gone with Accuphase or Esoteric? Pointers are greatly appreciated. Why is Burmester considered ultra high end?

@jsalerno277 Did not purchase DAC option. Love my current setup. Sorry can’t advise you.

Daft Punk? You should play some Merle Haggard on that fine machine. Not really a fair test though, since the Hag would sound good singing in a barrel.

One thing about Burmester- their stuff is art-meticulous workmanship.

@kerrybh someone on this post commented their build quality. Never seen anything like it. Studio quality. Phenomenal.
