I have the Krell SACD MkIII player. I upgraded from the first version of the player. What a diffeence! It took a while for the unit to break-in. It has better highs and lows. More detail. It's a new world.
The SACD MKIII transport is less noisier than the previous versions but is not completely silent - you can year some mechanism noise through the upper cooling slits, but can not be heard when you are 1 meter away from the unit. Sealed units such as the ARC CD7 and the Nagra CDP are noiseless.
Have you paid attention if the unit makes excessive noise? It is most noticeable when the music stops or when the music transitions from loud to very soft. My Krell Sacd MKII almost growls for severeal second and then the mechanism noise is audible all the time.
