OPINIE o HA-160:
Poszukuje wzmacniacza do słuchawek Denon D7000, zrodlo to dac Stelmacha w modyfikowanym Sony XA-20ES jako transport.

Niestety jestem zmuszony zostawic wzmacniacz dla siebie:) bo gra z D7000 lepiej niz BP (BlackPearl), szczególnie w kwestii basu, ktory jest lepiej prowadzony, bez efektow buczenia i włażenia na srednice z czego słyna te słuchawki, wiecej moze napisze na forum.
Mi tez zalezalo na tanszej opcji zakupu wzmacniacza, mimo sporej roznicy w cenie, jednak Burson zgrywa sie zdecydowanie lepiej z D7000.

As I got ha160 I've hooked it in directly to my PS Audio PWD D/A convertor and listened just for a while. My first impressions were not very positive - lack of bass (lower to upper bass), compressed mids and harsh highs. I did not bad time to investigate so I let it powered on with HD800 hooked in the right jack for 2days to have a bit of burn-in.
After 2days I put headphones on and the bass impact get much better. I also realized that for 300ohm I should be using the left jack and so tried that and viola, the mids are now full with proper tonality (colour of voice is now much more natural). But having using left jack I realized I can hear hum on background and quickly I realized it's coming from shielded Ethernet cable my DAC is connected To home network. I used Ethernet 1:1 coupler connector to galvanicaly break the cable shielding and this removed the hum I had in headphones.
From this moment I can say that sound of ha160 is fantastic :) Tomas, Słowacja

RECENZJE i NAGRODY BRANŻOWE:
Za regulację głośności wzmacniacza słuchawkowego i preampa odpowiada 24 krokowa drabinka rezystorowa. Jest to rozwiązanie bezkompromisowe stosowane w przedwzmacniaczach z najwyższej półki. Nawet najlepsze potencjometry wprowadzają istotny szum do sygnału audio. Szczególnie na niedużych poziomach głośności. Stąd dla topowej klasy sprzętu od dawna poszukiwano innych rozwiązań. Precyzyjne, niskoszumne rezystory usuwają kolejne "wąskie gardło" systemu ujawniając skrywane wcześniej detale muzycznego spektaklu, lepsze oddanie transjentów, rytmu, lokalizacji i barwy.
Drabinki firmy DACT same kosztują ponad 500zł ! A jakie dają rezultaty?"Stepped to heaven"http://www.dact.com/html/ct1_in_hi-fi_world.html
Jeśli coś jest tworzone z ideałami , pasją i w sposób indywidualny, nie seryjny to efekt końcowy zawsze przewyższy wszystko co jest produkowane masowo i kierowane głównie zyskiem.Ta prosta zasada sprawdza się w każdziej dziedzinie, od stolarki czy kamieniarstwa po produkcję samochodów i jest z całą pewnością prawdziwa w świecie muzyki, instrumentów i produkcji sprzętu audio.
When something is designed with ideals and custom made the old school way, the end result will always surpass anything that is mass produced and profit driven.This simple rule applies to all things, from carpentry, and masonry to automobiles, and it is certainly the rule for the world of music and audio design.

The HA-160 is an uncompromising reference class headphone amplifier packed with Burson technologies, Burson refinement and Burson passion. It will cleanse your soul from the daily racket of life and make you fall in love with your collections all over again.
Most headphone amps are built with ICs (integrated circuitry). Listening to an IC based head amp is like trying to listen to a grand concert through a key-hole! With ICs you are missing out on the micro detail that makes music musical and the macro dynamic that makes our hearts beat with excitement. There is only one reason for an IC to appear in audio gear, and that is cost saving at the expense of music!
The HA-160 has been designed with no ICs within its circuitry. Our discrete (IC free) approach allows us to optimise our design and tune our machines to achieve the best in audio reproduction. The elimination of ICs has made the HA-160 far more superior to its IC based competitors - on all fronts.
Just like an athlete needs clean air to perform at an optimum standard – audio equipment needs clean power to reproduce transparent and natural music.
Utilising the Burson Audio discrete (IC free) low noise regulator technology we have ensured that only the cleanest power is running through every component of our HA-160.

"Overall my opinion of the Burson Audio HA160 headphone amp is a surprising one, especially to myself. This is the first solid-state amp I have ever used that I truly loved equal to, or even more than my tube based amps. The clean power the unique philosophy and the discrete engineering of this amp make it more than just another Head Amp, this desktop amp is a thing of beauty and is easily the equivalent of amps that are twice its price. "
The Burson Audio HA-160 from Australia is a transistor amp a valve fiend can embrace not because it sounds the same—far from it—but because it doesn't do any of the bad things transistors can be guilty of. Team Burson is completely right. Solid-state done right does sound very good. While I've been around too long and too many blocks to believe their insistence on complete discrete is the only way to go, it clearly is one that leads to the goal. The new boss in this sector is from Oz? Damn right and g' day to ya too.

At the time when an audio signal is passing through the volume control, it is still at its weakest. At this stage, the audio signal is very vulnerable to noise pollution and interference. A major source of such distortion is the commonly used remote volume control adopted by most manufactures.
Burson Audio recognized the drawbacks associated with remote volume controls and deemed them unacceptable. Instead, we developed a 24 stepped attenuator, constructed with the best quality components available. Our Burson stepped attenuator ensures preservation of even the weakest audio signal; The air between instruments, the decay after an attack and all micro details that makes music enjoyable.
The function of Opamps at the output stage is as important as the lens on a cinema projector. Regardless of the analytical capability of the audio gear, an inferior opamp will halve a machine’s performance, and distort every dB of sonic imagery.
Just like our acclaimed P-160 amplifiers, the HA-160 features our Burson HD audio opamp. It enables the HA-160 to reproduce music in superior resolution and accuracy.

...Compared to truly world-class solid state amps like the Beta22, the HA160 keeps up in most ways. It portrays vocals, and particularly female vocals with palpable vividness, and handles complex passages of music admirably...
