Krell CD-DSP cd player?????


Does anyone know this unit? I can't find any information on this unit anywhere including Krell web site. Although
this unit was first built in 1992 est. it is said that this
unit comes with upgradable software and digital transformer
to guarantee against obsolescence. This is an excellent sounding cd player as I have recently auditioned one in a local audio dealer but I don't know if it's worth the dollars they're asking for it. If anyone has any information of this cd player I would greatly appreciate
your response. thanks

Don't beleive upgradable software is the only thing Krell really does not offer for those early 90 units. I had a Krell Studio $4K which claimed the same thing and HDCD was never even offered. I talked to them about it and thought it is a big scam, yes they have done upgrades and revisions to certain units but don't bet the farm on it. I am almost certain there is nothing available for the DSP in updating, but ask Steve @ Krell service (sleckrone@krellonline).
I agree with all the replies posted here and Krell will tell you the same thing about any used or older CD player. Some of the older units may be able to be repaired but it is a risk. I am using a DT-10 transport which I found on AudiogoN for a low price and works flawlessly but the digital read out has two intermitent areas of the numerals not light up. This does not bother me and the replacement is more yellow-orange than red and I elected to not to do it.
Great to hear that and I am not surprised with your find, a diamond in the rough =)
