Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200

Desperately need opinions as to which of these two fine processors would be the most enjoyable to own from a multi channel audio standpoint as well as enhancing stereo cd's. The video aspect is not important to me at the moment. I want the best sounding unit. Any users out there? Also and this is very important to me; will both units decode sacd data derived from a universal transport such as the Oppo's without downconverting? Kr4 will know the answer.. Thanks.
