I highly recommend anyone with a love for the TH900 to check the A8 out. I was also considering the Marantz HD-DAC1 and the ifi micro iDSD but in the end decided to pair Fostex with Fostex.
I have both hp-a8c and ifi micro idsd. I find the fostex to be effortless in detail retrieval & soundstage, while the ifi easily wins in the power dept. That said, both pair exceptionally well with the th900's. If you need portable - the ifi micro is a no brainier... it's excellent, and a real overachiever at $499.
