krell foundation 4k vs. classe sigma ssp mkii


Hi, 

Has anyone compared the two side by side?  I've been running a Proceed AVP2+6
using the 6 channel input from my Oppo 105D for the newer HD audio formats.  Was
thinking on coming more current, but don't want to take a step backwards on sound
quality.  Note, I'm pairing this with a Proceed AMP5, and am aware some units pair
together better than others.  Any thoughts or comments?

TIA

@wisciman99 - "Sigma SSP is focused on providing the best 2 chnnel experience it can".  That's true if you state the remaining outputs are only RCA.  Looking at pics, it seems the Sigma SSP uses the same type of op amp analog circuit with WIMA MKP film caps as the SSP-800.  It only has 2 XLR channels, where the SSP-800 has the full 7.1 XLR channels.  The Sigma was also priced much less than SSP-800.  Not a bad thing.  I think they were targeting a slightly difference consumer audience.
