I still prefer the MBL 111F's to any of the above.
We also compared the Nagra DAC to their MSB set-up and at least for today I preferred the Nagra unit.

Back in the days I owned MBL, a frustrating experience to say the least. On some few cuts, you thought god was in the room, but on most, they were a complete mess. Don’t see them as a viable solution for music lovers. HiFi at its best, and worse.
