Nuforce AVP-16


just wondering if anyone used one and their thoughts on it while I wait for mine to arrive that I bought off here early this week.

what were the thoughts used for music and what could u compare it too. 

I needed a preamp with optical outs and balanced outputs and this fit the bill perfectly.

I purchased both at the same time and quite amusingly the software in the avp 18 was identical to the software in the old emotiva processor.
Imho it is extremely easy to use and powerful.
Sorry you had issues and poor support, touch wood mine has been exemplary in all aspects.
Very simple typo
The avp 18 is the controller
Meant the mca20 for the power amp.
End of point
I also have the avp-18 in my ht rig and I found it a revelation compared to the Emotiva ss amps that I was using, yes I know they are low tier fodder but still.
For a claimed 150wpcx8 it blew away the 250wpc Emotivas on every level.
Voices were much more distinct, explosions and gunfire ( we are talking in a ht rig!) were vastly enhanced and much more defined. All round it was vast improvement.
Obviously on 2 channel music my main rig is much more musical but so it should be for cost difference. However that ebing said I quite often listen to Pandora on it and the occasional bluray audio disc through the oppo connected to it and it is more than acceptable.
For the price paid I was very happy indeed.
