I also have the N802's. It's not unusual to be able to hear 802's matched with Krell amplification. The new Krell amps are certainly much better to my ear than the Krell products I heard a couple of years ago.
I purchased Simaudio's W-5 and P-5 a few months ago. The W-5 is more than enough amp to control the 802's. Maybe even more impressive is the P-5 preamp. You might want to investigate Simaudio's products.
For the CDP I use a Cary Audio 303-200. I'm sure there are better but I'm also real sure there are worse. It seems to match well with the amp and preamp.
Good luck in your search.
