what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ?

@ Don_s, Hi, I really Had my hopes for the Romulus, Its a fine machine, however, it does not up-sample my stock red book cds to 24/192 format, and I have cdrs that were recorded by folks that I know with state of the art computer systems with costly sound cards, my cdrs are my best software I own!, I love the tube compliment the Romulus has, I just do not dig the transport or the dacs!, you have a awsome player, congrats!, unfortunally, I cannot use it, Aesthetix did say they were working on another player to be introduced, cheers.

@ jon2020, Hi, We use to own a Krell 300I, that was on our second system, We loved it!, To us, Its the best intergrated amp for the money you can buy on the used market period!, We have never listened to a 400 intergrated, we plan to buy another one for a second system again, we had to sale ours to help pay for the Taralabs zero gold I/C,,, unless you say the 400 is substanially better?

Audiolabyrinth,
You should concentrate your resources on the main system first. The 400 is better but I think the 300i is good enough for a second system. I still have fond memories of it. It was my first Krell amp and it was awesome, being detailed but warm at the same time.

Jon2020, I agree, my first Krell was the fpb 200, I miss that amp, to much current for a second system, I hate getting in the attic and running more electrical lines!, the 300I or 400 will grace our home once again!, we are going to keep working on this system now, in the spring or summer, we will have another 300I or 400 intergrated Krell by then, I already have the cables for it, the Taralabs the one i/c and speaker cables, these cables will make it sing big time!, we used these cables on it before, turned the 300I into a different animal for the better, cheers.

Well, I may have great news here, my buddy just tubed rolled his Ayon 2s to spectacular effect!, we both was going to sale our players!, He claimed no more forward sound! huge difference in sound for the better in every way he says!, He put 1972, or 1976, or 1980 nos p-DR 6h30 tubes in it, he will e-mail the exact year!, thats alot more affordable than buying a new player, well see, I may still buy another player and keep the Ayon 2s with these so called super tubes!, cheers to all.
