The DVD player is only used as a transport since it has both a DVI and SPID/IF output. The Krell will take care of all of it. Nice way to save money. I like the player! One of the first with a DVI out yeah? The marantz should make some magis with the V Inc., even with it's rediculous price tag. I love your system, I just had a lengthy audition of the Cremona and am higly considering spending way more money than I have to pick up a pair, and eventually develop an ALL Sumiko surround system.
Good Listening,
Patrick
