This looks like a strong deal. At US$350, it sits below the US$343 25th percentile by only a hair? Actually it’s just above that floor but still clearly under the US$500 median and well below the US$951 75th percentile, so it reads as a very good buy rather than merely fair.
The 160D is one of Burson’s more loved all-in-one desktop pieces: a muscular class-A-ish headphone amp, DAC, and preamp in a single box, with the sort of drive and density that still makes sense for a serious used system. At this price, the main upside is straightforward — you’re getting a well-regarded, do-it-all unit without paying mid-market money. If it’s clean, fully working, and includes the power supply and any original extras, it’s an easy enthusiast-level pickup.
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.
Burson occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end hi-fi market, revered by head-fi enthusiasts and discerning listeners for meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional sound quality. Independent and innovative, they stand apart through engineering excellence that challenges conventions, earning a global reputation among those seeking authentic, boundary-pushing audio without corporate dilution.
