Joeyboynj, Peter Mackay at Krell has ok'd me to recieve a new SACD MKIII as well for all my troubles!! Can't wait...what have been your sonic hallmarks so far compared to the VII unit?
Got mine today in Germany in exchange for my old MK1 device (+ 2000 Euro + 19%tax). Sound is brilliant (would say better as before) and the transport is quieter but also takes a few seconds more to recognize a SA/CD. It can also play MP3 44.1KHZ CDs. The new blue/white LCD display now can show CD/track title - however, it seems to be a bit too small to exactly fit into the chassis box of the old display - cosmetically not perfect! The new remote does not let you select a filter or dim the display anymore and also hasn't that fluorescence effect of the old one - so if you are going to trade-in your old player keep the old remote! Conclusion: Imho it's worth upgrading due to the better sound and better transport and control boards which apparently were taken from the EVO player. In most parts it's a 505 EVO in a SACD Standard chassis - unfortunaley some of these 505 parts weren't designed for use in the SACD Standard - so it's not as perfect as you would expect for a device carrying such price tag. Maybe one of the reasons that they pulled it from their website.
Has anybody figured out what krell does for the MKIII upgrade?? I got mine back and it is the finest CD player I have ever heard...which is quite a bit!
Interesting thing is that they pulled the mk III from their web site (and prolly cased the production as well). My guess is that too many owners of mk I and mk II requested the mk III upgrade free of charge.
Sad that such a great sounding SACD player (finally) will be no more...except in my house baby!!
