Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?

I only kept the unit for a few days. The noise is not excessive. The several seconds high noise, characteristic at startup of former units is now completely gone, and normal mechanism noise propagates mainly in the upper direction through the ventilation slots - it is not noticeable in normal use.
The sound quality is much improved.

Is Krell offering upgrades to Owners with Units still covered under Warranty? My MKII Standard is less than 6-months old, works and sounds perfect, but if the MKIII sounds better, than I'm interested in upgrading. I also had the MKI, and found the MKII to sound noticably better, and a nice upgrade.

Flav, My unit is under warranty and they are still charging a nice $$$ for the upgrade to recover costs on the expensive upgrade.

How much is the upgrade including/excluding faceplate ?

A 50% price increase over the SACD Standard MKII, is a bit steep, I wonder if it's worth it...

I found the Evolution 505 and the MKII to sound very similar in a non-cast balanced-system, with a slight advantage to the Evo. 505, though, in my opinion, not $6K worth.
