The HP-A3 is a REALLY good DAC/amp combo for the money. If the A8 is anything like it's little brother, it might be a GREAT sounding DAC/amp combo.
I prefer the HP-A3 standalone over the NFB-3.1/M-stage combo with my HE-500 (more bass, better definition but more forward which makes it sound a bit more left-right than front-back).
The A8 is already great by itself that I still have not pair it it with my Woo WA2 yet! As for my recent listening experience, the Antelope Audio Zodiac Gold that is one(or the only one) could be superior than (I like a little better) the A8.
I am very interested in this amp, can u tell us more about how it sound?
After few days of listening to the A8, It is very detailed and transparent DAC/Amp (especially set the Amp Gain to 0.00). The bass is not super aggressive but just right! The highs are extended and clean. The soundstage is average...not small but not huge! Overall, It sounds very balanced to my ears too.
PS. It is still very new and not burn-in yet!
