Oh, sorry. I forgot that!
Hm... Let's say... $1000, preferable under that.

Well I don't have a ton of AMP/DAC combo experience, unfortunately.  One way to go might be to get a decent cheap DAC like the NuForce uDAC2, and a tube amp like the Woo WA6, which sounds great with the Ed 8.  Then you could upgrade the DAC later if you wanted to.

I already got a uDAC2. It's okay. But I don't have a Woo WA6. It looks quite cool, but I don't know where I can get one in Sweden...

Order one and talk about the customs . Thats the way I do.

Well I absolutely LOVE the Edition 8 from the Trafomatic Experience Head One, which is made in Serbia, but it's a little out of your price range

Skylab,
 
Do you still have the Hat Peed?

Oooh... Was it expensive?
 
Hrm, Skylab... I'm quite new to this with amps and I don't know how to connect them via USB.
I suppose I need a USB DAC or something and then I connect it to the amp?
Is this right or am I totally lost?

No, that was a review loaner, long gone.

Yes, you take the analog outs of the USB DAC and connect those to the amp.

Actually you need a DAC and then the amp or a DAC/amp solution.

Out of your music brain (I ve read the review) will it be a match with the ED8?

Thanks!
Does the DAC matter soundwise if I get a great amp, or do I need a killer USB-DAC too?

It was asked but I dont think ever answered; What do you use to clean the leather pads?

 

[oqvist]

Want to find something like this in Sweden? Is there any type of leather oil you should avoid?

No possible way I can answer that, sorry.  Never tried them together, and I haven't had the HPT in far too long to make a guess.

Has anybody tried the ED8 with the Furutech GT-40? I feel that would be a good match for some reason, and it would be great to be able to be able to upsample some vinyl

Do you think that leather cleaner would be good or too risky for R10s? Thank you.
