I have a DCD A-110 Denon 110th year anniversary SACD player. Retail $3500 but you can get a deal on them. It is amazing. Upscales redbooks well and fabulous for SACD.. Metal tray , metal remote, amazing soundstage. Built like a tank , weighs about 35 lbs. I recommend.
Krell CD player replacement
Hello,
My Krell KPS 20IL CD player start reach end of its life, unfortunately! Since Krell (nor other high-end brands well known at end of 90’s) not making new high-end players, which took me huge surprise what is reason behind it! What good replacement?
Most high-end models I found are: T+A, Luxman, Moon, Marantz, and few more. But not sure how their quality compare to what I have, so I’m really skeptical about them. But happy learn more.
Or digital CD reach its end in general, so not wisely spend money, and analog like Vinyl become replacement?
No streamers please!
Thanks a lot!

World’s best sound CD/SACD player is Wavetouch BDP95 and the price is $2k, Sound samples are below. https://youtu.be/rOJItHbn8DY?si=r45T6f77Yy7ytWjV https://youtu.be/rQkbIcyqHwc?si=S2Bgzn9CQdGn7MQ_ Alex/Wavetouch audio |
Thanks to all, for great responses! Mark200mph! That’s great option, thanks a lot! Jafant, the rest all Krell, Phantom II, FPB 200. Not much options at the moment! Moon 260D and Bryston BCD-3 come to my attention but not quite sure about their build up i mean same as top units from the past. BCD-3 is very light weight about 8.8 LB, might not be relevant, but mostly high-end gear tend to weight little more. I used to have also Krell KAV 300 before 20IL, what a huge sound! And only about $3000-$3500. Its heavy and generate a lot heat. I wonder if Bryston BCD-3 can be close, even its more expensive than KAV 300. |
