What else to know about the Krell CD 1?
When it comes to digital, there are a lot of choices out there these days. Superb single-box CD players from Krell, Accuphase, and now Audio Research have shown the level of sound quality possible when S/PDIF– and AES/EBU-based distortions[ ](https://www.stereophile.com/reference/396bits)are eliminated *and* the digital domain is successfully manipulated. While I haven't heard everything available, I've heard enough to realize how special the Audio Research CD-1 is—it's good enough that I forget about hi-fi and retreat into the realm of music. - Wes Phillips, StereophileBrief History of McIntosh
