Krell Evolution Series 'approach' vs the Esoteric 'approach'.
The Krell Evolution 505 SACD/CD player houses all the DAC's and the power in one box. Krell chooses to separate the channels in their Evolution TWO [2 box] monaural preamplifier.
The Esoteric PO-1 SACD/CD transport separates its power w/ a second box. Then, Esoteric immediately separates the channels with their DO-1 monaural DAC's.
I am wondering why Krell opted for a SACD/CD player vs a separate transport and DAC combination to mate with their monaural preamplifier.
Have you had any listening experiences with Esoteric?
