Since your viewing this ad you’re properly already aware the Proceed AVP-2 is one of the very best sounding preamp processors available. It sounds so good many just use it as a fully balanced 2 channel preamp and DAC.All functions of my original AVP-2 work perfectly and it’s in flawless cosmetic condition, not a mark or scratch of any kind on the unit or remote. My AVP-2 functions and looks just like the first day it was unboxed and has always been used in a smoke, child and pet free home. If you want the best original AVP2 (not an upgraded AVP) then this is the one for you. All accessories including remote, owner’s manual, AC cord and double box are included. I am also including an additional Proceed SL-9000 remote that can be used to control other equipment, see pictures. One common point of failure with the AVP-2 is the front panel LCD display; if the display fails you may not get any output. To prevent this potential problem I had the display upgraded to an improved factory authorized part by Pyramid Audio in Austin, Texas, the cost of the upgrade was $350. Pyramid Audio is an authorized Proceed service center. Why is the AVP-2 so highly regarding as one of the best values on the used market, read on to find out. The fifth generation of any new product cycle is typically when the big benefits begin to reach affordable levels. Madrigal's Proceed AVP-2 is very much in this tradition---the AVP-2 multichannel audio-video surround processor shares plenty of technology found in the $30,000 Mark Levinson #40 Media Console. Features found in both models include the digital interface receiver (DIR), the "Intelligent FIFO" digital input buffer, and differential DACs for left and right front channels. The #40 and the AVP2 have "identical processing hardware and software," according to Madrigal, and both use four "SHARC" 32-bit fixed/floating point processors for the main zone. Capable of decoding up to eight channels, the AVP2 handles DTS, DTS-ES, Dolby Digital, THX Surround EX, MPEG-2, HDCD, and PCM-originated digital audio signals up to 24bit 192kHz, including Dolby Pro Logic II. Madrigal's proprietary Stereo Surround mode can be used to enhance two-channel recordings. All digital audio signals are received using Madrigal's Intelligent FIFO digital receiver technology. Previously reserved for Mark Levinson separate digital processors, (including the No.40), our Intelligent FIFO effectively rejects distortion-inducing jitter and maximizes the performance potential of the incoming signal. The AVP-2 includes all new digital-to-analog conversion circuitry. Like the No.40, the converter and its associated circuitry is fully capable of optimizing the performance of any signal that the AVP is likely to receive. An outstanding new output buffer circuit employs similar topology and performance to that found in our best components and contributes greatly to the AVP2’s sound quality. The output buffer features remarkable immunity to adverse interactions with interconnecting cables and unusual input impedance characteristics of power amplifiers. All volume controls within the AVP-2 are implemented in the analog domain, allowing the DACs to run at their maximum resolution at all times. This approach stands in contrast to digital volume controls, which operate by requiring the converters to operate at less than their maximum capabilities. After all, what would be the point of having 24 bit/192 kHz music formats if you end up throwing away much of the improvement
