a pic would help, can't remember what the Master DL headset is all about. The head tube isn't flared at all is it?

I know there is a smaller headset than the 1 inch but can't imagine that you'd have different sized cups with the set have you checked that the top and bottom cups are the same diameter? If they are then it will be the frame, maybe you could get a shim made up or use some trusty old electrical tape to get shim it out
