Any info on new Krell Foundation prepro?

Anyone have any good intel on the new Krell Foundation processor? Supposed to be around $6k, and may have some proprietary sub 500hz room correction (auto?), but that's all I know. Any info and updates would be appreciated.

As posted by "Krobar" a few weeks ago:

Granted, those are both expensive and exotic products, but bass-only room correction may be trickling down. At the recent CEDIA Expo, I saw a prototype of the new Krell Foundation preamp/processor, which includes room correction that you can set to function only below a certain frequency. It’s not necessarily because Krell’s getting the room-EQ religion, though. It’s for a reason I hadn’t even considered.

“Our customers are buying Thiel or Wilson speakers because they want to hear the characteristics of those speakers,” Krell president Bill McKiegan told me. “This lets them fix the important room problems without changing the essential character of the speaker.”

The Foundation is still very much in prototype mode — according to McKiegan, the final product will look much different from the plain black box you see here — and it won’t be available for a few more months. And of course, it’s a Krell so it ain’t cheap: Even though it’s the company’s “starter” pre/pro, it’ll cost about $6,000. But still, of all the pieces of audio electronics I’ve seen this year, this is the one I really can’t wait to get into my listening room

Well, it's heeeeeerrrrrrreeeeee. Previewed at CES 2013. Maybe we will get some more good intel in next few weeks. Curious what dacs they are using, and whether they will offer an asynch usb input. Also, will they offer tone controls of any kind?.

The Foundation is shipping now. Hopefully people will start getting units and posting impressions and reviews soon. The website still doesn't have a manual, which would help us all understand functionality. Also, there is no mention of type of Dacs used. My guess is they are sticking with ESS Sabre dac, but would certainly like to know. I see one USB input on back of unit, but no mention if it's a viable input for hi-res music servers (i.e., asynch 24/96 or 32/192). Hopefully more info will flow shortly.

Well, I couldnt wait, so I went ahead and got it's older brother, the Krell S-1200. Wow, although I've only had about an hour or two on it, not much more I can say but WOW! The S1200 is an incredible processor, at least for 2ch music as a preamp and mch BD via hdmi. The fact that the Foundation has ESS dacs is very nice. Probably a better overall solution than even the S1200, although the S1200 is probably noticeably better as an analog preamp at least. Can't wait to hear actual user opinion on the Foundation.
