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.

tired of wating....isn't that the truth. I can not seem to get any response from either the general service folks or a specific individual. You could not be more correct. I bought this thing barely over 2.5 years ago and spent a lot of money on it because of Krell's "reputation" and its "modular" and "upgradable" architecture. What a bunch of crap! IF I can not get them to figure this out, it will be the last piece of Krell equipment I EVER buy.

I have called them about 1 year ago iquiring about something entirely different and they basically told be that I would have to "replace" the unit with a new one and they would give me a meager $1500 trade in.
Meanwhile, I would spend $7000 on their new product that is, SUPRISE, modular and upgradable too. Once bitten twice shy! I was hoping that they may have figured something else out by now but judging from the complete lack of response from my many inquiries, I suspect not.
