On the avsforum, Kris Deering of "Secrets of Home Theater
and HiFi" seems to imply that both these processors have
exactly the same DACs and analog sections. Watch out for
his review later this month.
However, in my communication with Krell, they mentioned that
the HTS 7.1 has a "significantly" better preamp section
which benefits the overall sound of the processor. After
the DACS, the signal is routed through the preamp
section.It was based on this input that I chose to go along
with the HTS 7.1 The other 2 advantages of HTS 7.1 (hardware
upgradability, and second zone output) were not that
important to me. So if what Kris Deering says is correct,
I will be very pissed !
