I've owned and used the Proceed AVP for the last 8 years. While I upgraded every other component of my system (some a few times), the beautiful rendering of music by the Proceed's DAC not only made me keep it, but I bought a second one for back up. You can find the AVP here or on Ebay for around $650 if you are patient (I got my second one for $500), and the AVP (unlike the PAV) supplies Dolby Digital and DTS for home theater. I don't care about running my video through the preamp, so it's archaic video connections mean nothing to me . . . all I care about is the sound, and for that the Proceed is hard to beat for the price.
Proceed PAV as a two channel preamp..
I have the opp to buy a Proceed PAV preamp/processor with original box, manual and remote for about $650.00.
I won't get to hear it, the seller would simply show up at my door, would hand me this unit and walk away with $650.00 in his pocket.
I will be using it in two channel mode only for now, was wondering about it's sound quality.
Can this be upgraded to dolby digital if needed?
As a used unit, could there be issues that I should be aware of?
Your input would be truly appreciated,
