A Letter from Dan D’Agostino Dear Audio Enthusiast, Thank you for your purchase of the Krell Evolution 505 SACD/CD Player. Source components are the first, vital link in the audio signal chain, and an audio system can perform no better than the source allows. For this reason, I have made every effort to include the best technology in the design of this new Krell product. At the heart of the Evolution 505 are separate, linear power supplies that insure perfect operating conditions for the drive m

Revolutionary Krell CAST Technology Current Audio Signal Transmission, termed CAST, is a revolutionary method of connecting analog audio components for unparalleled sonic performance. Innovative engineering combines the new Krell CAST circuitry with existing Krell Current Mode technology to create entire CAST systems that reproduce music with incredible range, tonality, and precision. The Voltage Signal Transmission and the Traditional Audio System Traditionally, signal is transmitted in the vol

(SECTION ONE: Evolution 505 Features and Technology continued) In essence, Krell Current Mode maintains the integrity of the signal within the component and CAST preserves the transmitted signal between components. Together, CAST and Krell Current Mode technologies unify separate Krell compo- nents into a single global circuit. Krell Current Mode technology enjoys bandwidth increases up to an order of magnitude greater than their voltage based counter- parts. This dramatic increase in circuit ba

Definition of Terms The following are definitions of key terms used in this owner’s reference: Inputs and Outputs Balanced A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The industry standard for profes- sional and sound recording installations, balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced connections are completely immune to induced noi

(SECTION ONE: Evolution 505 Features and Technology continued) Technology Krell Current Mode A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of a component operate in the current rather than the voltage domain. This unique technology pro- vides the component with exceptional speed and a wide bandwidth. SACD Disc A Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) is an audio disc that provides exceptional high quality sound. Based on the new Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology, a format tha
