Besides the standard XLR and RCA outputs, the KPS-28c also features CAST output for connection to other Krell components with CAST inputs. The CAST connection takes your Krell electronics to a whole new level! Owning Krell equipment that are equipped with CAST and you are not using the CAST connection is like taking Viagra to masturbate instead of having sex.
RCA/XLR = masturbation
CAST = sex!!
We know you enjoy both, but one is definitely WAY more intense than the other.

The heart and soul of a high-end CD player is in its transport mechanism. The KPS-28c uses only best! Everything is of much higher quality than the later production Krell CD players - the best VRDS transport vs cheap slot-loaded CDROM drives, bold and thick faceplate vs shiny thin faceplates that appear soft.

Don't know about you. For our money, the KPS-28c definitely gets the vote. Priced to sell at over 60% off MSRP! This is a serious fully balanced design with Krell's Current Mode Gain circuitry and the most linear and low distortion class A analog outputs, so it does run a bit hot.
