I am selling my amazing sounding Krell Foundation due to being layed off. Let me get this out of the way. I am very saddened because of this. You would be getting a eleven month old Krell Foundation with dsd support already. This is the first unit I know of that had dsd implemented when shipped from the factory. The 4k upgrade has already been paid for. You would just have to pay for shipping insured to the factory. I would have to let you know when they email me for the upgrade. This unit has the 150.00 optional rack mount kit. It is in perfect condition. It comes with all the accessories that were in the box.It also has original box. The remote is still in its wrapper. I never used it. Buyer will pay 80.00 flat rate shipping. I will split paypal fees. OK a lot of people have the same question about the 4k upgrade. Here is the actual email I received today about what you the buyer would need to do. This is the actual email back from Patrick Bresnahan at Krell . Patrick Bresnahan Today at 10:03 AM [email protected] Hi Ron, Because of lack of part availability we are not able to schedule units for the 4K upgrade in a predictable or timely fashion at this time. What I would have him do is to submit a service request form under his name at our website for this unit. He can go to www.krellonline.com, click on SUPPORT, then on SERVICE REQUEST FORM. In the “problem description” area, he can state that he would like to find out when he can send the unit in for the 4K upgrade. It is here where he should also mention that he purchased the unit from you, and that you already prepaid for the 4K upgrade. We can then issue him a return authorization number for his unit but he should not send the unit in until such time as we say it is good to do so. This way he can use the unit as is until such time where we can accept the unit in. This we would have to advise him on at a later date. Patrick The reviews are all right. The unit has to be rated an 8 because it was in a rack. But it is in perfect condition. The Foundation 4K UHD adds HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 technology to the award winning Foundation processor. Designed to be upgradeable, existing Foundation processors can be upgraded to the Foundation 4K UHD platform at the Krell facility. The Foundation 4K UHD updates 4 of the 10 HDMI 1.4a inputs to HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 capability. New on screen display functionality adds status messages including volume, active source, video resolution and audio format. System setup is accomplished from the front panel or a network tablet/computer. Additional functionality has been added to the second HDMI output. The two HDMI video outputs are now independent and can be configured to send different video signals to two individual displays. Both outputs support 4K signals being simultaneously displayed. Both HMDI outputs feature Audio Return Channel (ARC). With ARC, a display device is able to send audio back down the HDMI cable to the Foundation 4K UHD. Televisions with built-in web streaming capability like Netflix or Pandora, can send the audio signal back to the Foundation 4K UHD use the full home theater system instead of just the TV's speakers. Featuring the latest digital connectivity, the Foundation 4K UHD maintains Krell's exacting standards for analog audio reproduction. From decoding the latest lossless audio formats, extensive digital switching, 3DTV pass-through, and more, the Foundation 4K UHD is fully compliant with the digital age. The 7.1-channel processor also features balanced audio outputs, automatic setup and room EQ, and Krell's legendary robust hardware. A slim form factor exudes the Krell aesthetic, while allowing placement in smaller equipment racks. The Foundation 4K UHD features Krell's Automatic Room Equalization System (ARES), to ensure the best possible performance from every theater. ARES analyzes all the speakers in the system, their location, phase, and distance from each other, to determine the best crossover frequency, delay, and more. In addition, ARES incorporates the acoustics of the room to determine unique EQ curves for each of the 7.1 output channels. Unlike other room EQs, ARES can be programmed to only adjust the troublesome low frequencies, leaving high frequencies unaltered. The Foundation 4K UHD includes a new Krell development - Intelligent HDMI switching. Intelligent HDMI switching is a combination of circuitry and innovative software that optimizes HDMI operation. Various parameters including the monitor's electronic ID and source video resolution are stored in non-volatile memory. All 10 source inputs are always active so source, channel, video resolution, and audio format changes are instantaneous. The Intelligent HDMI design provides the fastest signal recognition possible. The Foundation 4K UHD passes video signals directly without any video processing, ensuring bit-for-bit accuracy of the signal, up to 3840x2160. However, to simplify cabling, setup, and use, there is full transcoding of the 2 composite and 3 component analog video inputs to the HDMI outputs. Krell designed the Foundation 4K UHD with flexibility and ease-of-use in mind, with extensive routing capability of the audio inputs to the various outputs. During setup, the specific paths will be chosen based on how the user intends to use each source, displays, and audio output channels. The Foundation 4K UHD supports stereo and multichannel DSD decoding via any of the 10 HDMI inputs. Playback options include DSD 2-ch Direct, DSD Stereo, and DSD Multi modes. DSD 2-ch Direct converts a stereo DSD signal to analog and directly passes it to the left and right analog outputs. DSD Stereo first applies any left and right channel crossover configured in the Foundation 4K UHD menu, converts the signal to analog, and then sends it to the left and right outputs. DSD Multi supports multichannel DSD recordings and utilizes all crossovers configured in the Foundation 4K UHD menu. There is no configuration required as the Foundation 4K UHD automatically recognizes a DSD signal and defaults to the last used DSD mode for playback. Pressing the mode button on the remote control or web server interface will cycle through all three DSD modes. The Foundation 4K UHD will allow owners to take full advantage of the best audio soundtracks available, with decoding of Dolby Digital, Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-ES Discrete, Matrix, and DTS-HD Master Audio. In addition, a full suite of post-processing modes are included, including Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS Neo 6. Krell's proprietary surround modes, Party, General Admission, Front Row, and On Stage, offer a different way to listen to favorite tracks. The Foundation 4K UHD also offers features that make it perfect for custom installation, such as 3.5mm jacks for IR input and 12-volt trigger input and output, as well as RC-5 and optional rack-mount ears. Additionally, the unit can be controlled with home automation systems via RS-232 or the Krell web server through its Ethernet connection.

Questions for the seller
I need a 230 Volts version, can that be done?
I don't think this can be done. You might [filtered] Krell and ask. Sorry
Do you have the standard face to replace the rack mount face if I want to just use it on a shelf? Do you have any idea of the time frame for the 4k upgrade? Thank you
I can't seem to respond to this question. I don't have the other top. The faceplate is no different. A new top can be bought for 150.00. Just [filtered] Patrick Bresnahan at Krell
