I want to also recommend the new Krell K 300i - My older Krell 400xi died 6 months ago and I replaced it through Krell after it was discovered my 400xi as unrepairable.
i push a set of Maggie 1.7i speakers with no issues at all. The new Krell sounds great - better soundstage, better vocals, horns and strings sound very real. I know everyone complains about Maggie lack of base - I added the base panel to my system and biamped it to great effect. The Krell 300 i has an adjustable preamp out. I did not buy their DAC - I stream via a LUMIN T2.
Just my two cents.
Enjoy the music.
