I'm with Greys2k. If you like Krell, you might just want to trade up to their newer models with 24-bit DACs. I had a Krell KAV-250cd. I decided to upgrade, and got myself the Krell KPS-28c for $3,500 used. Needless to say, it is a significant improvement to the KAV-250cd, and I don't have to search for another cd player (maybe ever again!).
