About the DA160
The Burson Audio DA160 is a DAC designed to deliver high-fidelity audio with a frequency response from 5Hz to 35kHz (-0.3dB to -1dB). It supports digital inputs including 2 USB connections (up to 24bit/96kHz with low jitter), coaxial RCA (up to 24bit/192kHz), and optical inputs. The device features an internal regulated power supply with power dissipation greater than 25W. It has an input impedance of 52 KOhms, a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 101dB, and total harmonic distortion (THD) below 0.001% at 6mW/300 Ohms. Channel separation is greater than 95dB at 10kHz, and output impedance is 25/45 Ohms. The DA160 outputs stereo L/R RCA audio signals and supports two channels. Its compact and robust aluminum enclosure weighs approximately 7 kg and measures 265 mm x 250 mm x 80 mm. The DAC is noted for its musical and true sound reproduction, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking detailed and accurate audio conversion.
