The crazy 8's...reminds me of Philly hockey growing up.

The Heir Audio 8a's pair really nice with the DACport LX and Portaphile 627.

Everything pairs nicely with the DACport LX .

 

[Poimandres]

And also with the Portaphile ;P
 
How long before your 8's arrive?

 

[lee730]

Not sure. I sent and email over to Sunny and she responded that they are working on them now and they should be done soon! So hopefully soon is by next week .
 
So how is the Portaphile? Is it warm sounding, smoothed out treble and an expansive sound stage? I kinda figured it would sound like this since my UHA6 MKII with Op Amp 627 AP sounded that way.

I think Joe was spot on in his review, have you read that thread yet?  I hope you really enjoy your 8's and look forward to your impressions.  I however need to finish paying on my 6A's as my worst enemy right now is me at this rate if I am lucky I may get them around summertime.  Head-fi has definitely put a hurting on my wallet lately.

Just called UPS and they said that they will deliver my 8A & 6A today as opposed to the schedule on the Tracking Information of Monday
 
Can't wait!!!

Sweet did you get the last 6a?

Second to last I think

My first foray into Customs so pretty excited, but it will be another 6 - 8 hours before delivery is made.................

I hate you lol .
 
Looking forward to your impressions .

Absolutely looking forward to them.  Mine 6a's weren't the last set reserved but they will definitely be the last set that Heir makes when I finally pay them off.

Hong Kong efficiency at it's very best!
 
I called UPS at 10am. They have been delivered at 11.30am so I have my 8A and 6A at Hand

 
 

 

[lee730]

Awesome. Hope they fit you well.
 

 

[spkrs01]

Just trying them now....
 
The 8A look awesome!!! I never realized the shells has swirls in them, looks great.
 
Fit seems perfect so far......

hey guys, so my 8.A will leave from hk to mumbai on monday. and im thinking about DAP's now...  what do u guys recomend
 
AK100 vs DX100 ??? which one has best synergy with the 8.A, i mainly listen to 320K mp3s... but will definately be listening to some high quality files once i get a player that plays them.
 
are there any other options. Sony F/A  series?? Ipod Classic? .. if so what amp/dac combo do u suggest. i dont mind goin with a dap+amp combo as long as its worth it.. portable one though. ( even if it means a carrying a big bag) lol but the smaller the better. i have around 900$ as a budget for everything. .. just want something that will drive the 8.A properly. please help! sorry for the OT ... but i thought id ask here cuz most of those who own a 8.A keep checking this thread

 

 

 
Today I received the new CLAS db which I bought specifically for my 4A. I'm hoping it'll sound good with a Heir custom. Thus far it sounds great with everything else I own.
