At US$330, this sits just under the US$330 25th percentile and well below the US$418 median for the recent comparable set, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. It is also far enough under the US$520 75th percentile that there’s clear room for buyer value, assuming the unit is functioning and not missing anything important.
The HA-160 is a well-regarded old-school discrete headphone amp: punchy, muscular, and still respected for driving harder-to-run headphones with authority. At this price, the upside is getting a serious amp without paying median-market money; just verify cosmetic condition, power-up behavior, and that the original PSU/cables are included if applicable, since age-related wear matters more than the number itself here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Burson Audio emerged in 1996 in Melbourne, Australia, from a collective of passionate audiophiles united by a pursuit of audio perfection. What began as a labor of love—pooling expertise in engineering, technology, and music for personal enjoyment—evolved into a commercial venture by 2005 with the release of their debut products. This grassroots origin underscores their unwavering commitment to innovative, no-compromise designs unbound by mass-market constraints.
The brand specializes in high-performance categories like Class-A headphone amplifiers, DACs, pre- and power amplifiers, and discrete op-amps, alongside integrated solutions such as the Conductor and Soloist series. Signature innovations include custom-designed op-amps, fully IC-free Class-AB amplifiers like the Timekeeper with its linear power supply, and the proprietary Max Current Power Supply (MCPS) technology. Their minimalist circuits prioritize transparency and power, often featuring high-current mono blocks and discrete components for audiophile-grade reproduction.
