In Reply to: I'd be really curious how it stacks up against the Proceed AVP as a preamp... posted by oscar on August 7, 2005 at 17:57:31:
i ruled out the AV8 because it uses the older generation CS49300 DSP which doesn't do DPL IIx. And the S/N specs are awful - only 98dB which is barely better than 16 bit.The new AV700 looks interesting, but has a few gotchas. The DACs used aren't the best, and it doesn't do HDMI audio (only video switching). It also doesn't layer DPL IIx on top of DTS.
The hot DSPs at the moment are the TI DA610 and the CS49500 - unfortunately not many units out there. I was looking at the Harman Kardon 635, but the analog preamp quality is poor, and the unit has some problems sticking in 7.1 mode.
