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

I agree with all positve comments made above; I absolutely love my CD-DSP, will never give it up (unless I win PowerBall & can go just plain NUTS). However, check out my comments in thread 1028132091 re inserting a jitter reduction unit between an external transport & the Krell's DAC; REALLY worth checking out, particularly if your laser's gone... (not a massive improvement, it's too good to begin with, but it's that much closer to the elusive 100%!)

HI TAIJIJIAN.
I GOT A KRELL MD-1. SIMILAR TO YOUR CD-DSP I THINK.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT MAGIC BOX (AUDIO ALCHEMY OR CHANNEL ISLANDS OR PERPETUAL E.T.C)COULD I CONNECT BETWEEN MY TRANSPORT AND DAC(AUDIO REASEARCH)TO IMPROVE SOUND QUALITY.
I SEE A LOT OF USED GEAR ON AUDIOGON . ANY IDEAS?

THANKS
GEORGE

THANKS JOAMONTE
I will keep an eye,for it if it shows up in the used market.
As far as the laser talk and mechanisms of transports and older CD players that are discussed above.
I called KRELL and Patrick at Krell service (great guy)
told me to keep my MD-1 for as long as it works and when it dies to just move-on to the next thing and keep the MD-1 as an object of art.It is gorgeous piece (any KRELL)circa 1989-1992 MD-1 MD-10 THEIR GOLDEN DIGITAL AGE.
My two cents worth.
More to discover
