what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ?

@ 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.

I am currious is to why no one has mentioned a player, that of all things was dicussed on a amp thread!, The EAR acute 3 player, whats every ones impressions of this player for direct to amps, the reviews are thru the roof!, cheers.
