Krell enters the world of SACD ?

yes, i've heard this rumour, too. also heard that dan d'agastino will be working as a roady for the eagles this summer in the hope of adding a touch of humanity to his resume. yeah, as if...

Krell's 4/28/01 response to an e-mail I sent regarding rumored cancellation of the Krell SACD player:

Dear Jim,

Thank you for your e-mail and your referral to the source. Thanks also for your input.

Dan D'Agostino is actively investigating and researching SACD. I can tell you that he likes the potential of the format but like many he has concerns about the availability of software. In this business, the availability of sufficient software is a key to consumer acceptance. I think it is certainly possible that you will see a SACD component from Krell by WCES 2002. That being said, I wouldn't want a gun held to my head in case we don't. When more information becomes available, I will let you know.

If we may be of further service, please let us know.

Best regards,
Irv Gross

I think I will keep my NEC CDP for now.It sounds pretty good!

Any truth to the rumor that Sony is charging as much as a
grand a unit to other builders of SACD machines? If so,
can we say BETA?
