Martin Colloms, in Hi Fi Critic, recently reviewed the Connect and described its performance perfectly…

“It certainly showed traditional Krell strengths in its bold, muscular and extended bass lines. Midrange dynamics were fine, and allied to very good detail retrieval and spacious, well focused stereo images with fine depth. The reproduction has a very good sense of power and scale…”

“It has a generally upbeat nature, with a forward propulsive nature, as if eager to spill out the continuing musical notes. Image focus was crisp over the whole frequency range and over a wide span of material from classical to rock. The icing on the cake was the permissible direct connection of the Connect to a balanced input power amp, …which lifted the score of this well priced streamer/DAC to an audiophile 173 marks.”
