jtein:MUSICRAFT:Hi jtein
Thanks for your post and for your kind words.
Yes, it would have been great if you could have visited me. Anyway, the Cyrus and Roksan will be fine with the SCM11's. I also have customers that use Cyrus components with ATC speakers however if you have some doubts than also consider the Kandy cdp or Nait 5i/CD5i combination. If you can stretch your budget than also consider the Nait XS/CD5i or Nait XS/CD5XS combinations.
All the best

Thanks Rick for your detailed explanation. May I know what are the characteristics of Nait 5i/CD5i or Nait XS/CD5XS combinations as opposed to the Cyrus/Roksan combination? Sorry to keep troubling you with these questions as auditioning such kits is hard to come by over here.
I also have trouble purchasing Chord Co. products online as their products are only meant for UK sales. Would I be able to buy these products from you and have them shipped to me?
Hi jtein
I am sorry for my late response as i have busy with other matters.
I hope it is not too late but i think you should also consider NAD C375BEE/C545BEE and ATC SIA2-150 MK2/NAD C545BEE.
To cut to the chase all these combinations have got their qualities
however i would personally choose the SIA2-150MK2/C545BEE combination to go with the SCM11's.
I don't deal with Chord Company and instead support Van Den Hul, QED and Black Rhodium. Van Den Hul's The Integration Hybrid is my favourite IC cable and the one that i would recommend for the non Naim based components. A speaker cable that i mostly use with ATC speakers is generic and only costs about £3/m.
I am more than happy to help you with ideas/recommendations and i truly appreciate you wanting to put business my way however i can't ship goods to Malaysia.
All the best
