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?

@kerrybh great input. My system sounds phenomenal as is. The important components are top motch. DAC is not critical in my opinion but I will definitely keep keep your words in mind.

So, you’re using the DAC in the Wiim Ultra?

The 232 integrated has an internal Dac I assume that's what @madhusudan_ramaswamy is using.

@jond Don't think it has internal DAC. I asked the dealer.
