I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino
I currently have two of the Krell amps in the iBias XD series and having had two FPB cx models beginning in 2001 I can state these new amps are every bit as good if not better then the “muscle cars” of the early 2000’s. And most people don’t know ...

Parasound vs. Krell for 2 channel
I have a Chorus 5200 and love it! I also have the Krell Duo XD and highly recommend it. It is SUPERB. I don't honk you can do better for the price. And of you have the standard issue 5200 I recommend you send it back to Krell to have it converted ... 
CD Transports
See if you can get your hands on a used PS Audio DMP transport on you’ll find yourself spinning discs again. It’s glorious as it reveals data and information you never knew was there.  
Who buy PS AUDIO ?
I own their P10 Power Regenerator, the DMP transport and the DirectStream DAC.  THE DMP player is of exceptional build quality and I am going on year 5 with the DAC, which, IMHO, is the best sounding DAC...  at ANY price!  And free firmware update...

Any love for newer Krell amps?
Sorry, but in reviewing I post I caught a minor typo. Sb “XD,” and not CD!  Enjoy the music as you’ve made a great choice.  
Any love for newer Krell amps?
You simply cannot beat the performance of the recent lineup of Class A KRELL CD amps. Utterly musical and breathtaking ability to soundstage and present distortion free music.  Take it from a Krell customer who has owned the big “muscle cars” of t... 
I am frustrated with the sound from my DAC
if you have if the budget consider the PS Audio DirectStream DAC. It converts digital to DSD, and then outputs analogue that sounds better than any record I’ve ever heard. Coupled with some good music playing software it’s beyond superb.  
Moving up from an Oppo 205
IMHO there’s one clear choice AT ANY PRICE provided you’ve got a budget of at least 5-6k. The PS Audio DirectStream DAC is the cats meow. And enjoy free firmware updates for life which the company typically provides once or twice a year. You could... 
SACD or not
I would absolutely purchase a unit that supports SACD playback. While I love listening to 2.0 stereo, nothing sounds as good as a well produced  multi-channel SACD with the exception of the very limited range of a Blu-Ray content that’s out there.... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
No, you cannot run this amp in your apartment. Take it from one who has had both the FPB 300cx AND the 400cx. I ran my 300cx in a condo and CONSTANTLY was blowing circuits. The 400cx actually has TWO power supplies and absolutely requires a dedica...
