Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
Technics on 1984.It sounded harsh and bright.My next one California AudioLab which I got 1989 was much better with more refined treble. 
Best earphone for the value
@ big_greg I fully understand that headphone could be big rabbithole.Thus I am not willing to try expensive ones.I will drive Sundara with Lyngdorf 2170 which will have enough drive.I also may drive it with Chord Dave for test.Let us see what happ...

At least, Kalista appears to be immune from vibration issue.

@ curiousjim I wish you to have a chance to listen to this system.The sound was very impressive. Metronome Kalista  looks grand and gracious.Thomas

I had got strong tempation to get beautiful piece of Kalista transport and Dac.It looks really impressive and sounds good.Big Avalon Saga is no slouch either.But as I am happy with my Lansche 4.1, I have no plan to change speakers for the time being. 
How good is MSB Discrete Dac?

How good is MSB Discrete Dac?
I heard Dave with or without Blue II transport at the shop last week.Without upsampling with Blue II, Dave is just good not extraordinary one.With Blue II, Dave sounds very nice with deep and transparent soundstage although not in a same league wi...
