Subjective grading of DAC that I had heard during last one year period.
Another post correction of main thread. On 2019 I had got Jay Audio CDT2 and Lyngdorf 2170 to use it as Room correction, Dac. I got those on 2018 not 2019.

@lalitk As I had been using Emmlab Dac2 for 10 years, I was interested in DA2. But I could not find dealer who offer audition of it. There are many Dacs to audition but I could not audition all of them. The main reason that I had pulled for Dave a...

Aries Cerat Kassandra II could possibly match the performance of MSB Select II but also with high price. Aries Cerat launched the Helene DAC at Munich show this year with expected price tag of 20k$.I had better wait for it before pulling the trigg...

@ david_ten One more thing!If you want 3D holographic transparent soundstage with excellent details, Dave and Mscaler could be one of the best matching MSB Select II.But it could sound analytical or hot coupled with bright combination of speaker a...

@david_ten Hi DavidIf you are looking for nice Dac close to the performance of MSB Select II at more affordable price, then I recommend you to try Lampiziator Pacific Dac. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9eh61-lampizator-pacific-da-converters... 
Please find the excuses for me not to buy Stax 009S headphone
@ mulveling Thanks for sharing your opinion on this.Although I am also interested in Rall Sr1a, I will not be in a rush.I will give enough time to tune Stax 009S and Carbon amplifier using different combination of Power cables and interconnects.

Thanks Richard for your kind word. After trying out Rall Sr1a, if I like it I may keep it in addition to Stax 009S.But that is going to be the end of it. I will not go into  Sennheiser He 1.I also had been happy with Lansche 4.1 with plasma twe...

@ richopp Hi RichardI agree with your opinion that it is not easy to listen to headphone or earphone for long time.Out of curiosity I had pulled trigger for Stax 009S but I do not want to go into rabbit hole. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sennh...

I had been happy with my dynamic speaker Lansche 4.1 since 2007.But I wish to try electrostatic one.Stax 009S will not be played so loud as to hurt my hearing.As former Apogee user, I am also attracted to  Raal Requisite SR1a ribbon headphone. h...
