What Ncarv wrote seems bizarre to me. I have an earlier two-chassis PAV/PDSD combination that the AVP was intended to functionally replace. ( I think it was only with the AVP2 that the replacement was successful.) The PAV/PDSD has no such problem. I prefer the Proceed DACs for CDs, so that's digital in; SACD, of course, is analog in. Deciding whether it's a CD or SACD is performed within the source, in my case a Sony DVP-S9000ES. I don't understand what the AVP would have to do with format in any case.
