Hi HR,
I've got the Masterclass combo, although sadly I had to go for the 'cheap' option with the stereo amp rather than the monos. The best I've heard them so far was in a system with the RA Opus 21 CDP and the LV OBX-R2 speakers.
Sadly I haven't managed to hear the Chord DAC, but am about to go hunting for a decent CDP and will let you know what sounds good with the Sugden amps. Advice so far has been to look at the Advantage S1, Accuphase 67 or 75, the MSB Platinum and Wadia's. Now 'all' i need to do is find them second hand! Joy.
