Burson Audio DAC-160
Australian Burson Audio's claim to fame was its excellent HA-160D headphone amp+preamp+DAC which uses Burson's proprietary discrete operational amplifiers (not IC OpAmps, also available as upgrade modules for other products). Burson is back with a stand alone digital to analog converter dubbed the DAC-160 which is based roughly on the DAC section of the HA-160D, housed in a handsome machined aluminum case.
