Krell K-300i
The K‐300i incorporates a newly developed amplifier circuit design with Krell iBias™ technology that delivers 150 Watts/Channel into 8Ω and 300 Watts/Channel into 4Ω. iBias provides the sonic benefits of Class A operation without the excessive heat and power consumption of traditional Class A
designs.
A 770VA transformer with 80,000µF of capacitance forms a potent power supply for excellent signal control and dynamics.
Krell Current Mode topology is employed with fully differential circuitry that runs from the input stage through to the last output gain stage providing an extremely linear and extended frequency response curve with smooth, effortless highs and extremely dynamic bass energy.
With the digital option installed the K‐300i becomes a world class DAC with the connectivity and features to support the latest digital music formats. An ESS Sabre Pro DAC configured for high current output performs the digital to analog signal conversion for uncompromised reproduction of digital music.
A network streaming audio renderer with dedicated mobile App plays AAC, ALAC, AIFF, FLAC, WAV, WMA, and DoP files up to 192kHz/24‐bit from UPnP music servers or NAS devices. The digital option also provides Spotify, vTuner Internet radio, Tidal, Deezer, and QoBuz streaming services, is Roon Ready and decodes MQA.
HDMI 2.0 inputs and output supporting 4K UHD with HDR are available for TV viewing with audiophile grade sound quality. A single USB host port is vailable on the front panel to play music from USB flash memory sticks and a USB device port is positioned on the rear panel for streaming music directly from a computer. The digital option also includes a Bluetooth receiver featuring Qualcomm® aptX™ audio technology for the best sound quality when connected to aptX enabled Bluetooth devices.

Krell S-550i integrated amplifier
It has not only the usual unbalanced and balanced inputs, the S-550i also includes an iPod dock.
The volume control is a balanced resistor ladder, so channel tracking ought to be essentially perfect.
It's rated at 275 watts into 8 Ω and 550 watts into 4 Ω.
Price $5,000, S-550i should be available in March 2012.
