About the HA160
The Burson Audio HA-160 is a fully discrete, class A solid-state headphone amplifier designed and manufactured in Melbourne, Australia. It uses a stepped attenuator volume control, an internal regulated power supply, and a solid aluminum chassis that also acts as a heatsink. The rear panel provides a single stereo RCA analog input, while the front panel has two 6.35 mm outputs: a headphone output optimized for lower-impedance headphones and a line-level output intended for connection to an external amplifier or power amplifier. Output power is specified at 650 mW into 300 ohms and 800 mW into 60 ohms, with a frequency response of 5 Hz–35 kHz and THD below 0.001% at 6 mW into 300 ohms. The amplifier measures approximately 180 × 250 × 80 mm and weighs about 4.5 kg.
