Krell HTS1...Upgradable or NOT?

I am thinking about adding DVD audio to my home theater system. I have a not so old Krell HTS1 processor. Can I easily add a DVD audio player to the system or can it even be upgraded to accept the formats? I have repeatedly emailed Krell for answers and have not received one reply. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

I had a HTS1 and I would say NOT. They are great selling you on the upgradeability, but I have only had one smooth upgrade done by them. I got tired of waiting and just bought an AVS which I really love for everything.

Krell is pretty good for most repairs, but I have also had problems with their shipping department. I had a KPS-20i improperly packed and I had to ream them whil I was on vacation I was so upset. The upgrades are another story, they make no real money there. Sure it is "modular", but there has to be a benifit for them to provide the upgrade.
Believe me the AVS with 7 balanced outputs for video and the 2 channel sound betters the HTS1. So what if there Showcase is 7.1, the used price on it is dropping like all the HTS units.....like a rock.
