I have heard the lexicon and know how good it is. My temptation to get the anthem is for the video processing. This would save me the need of getting the dvdo, extra space in rack, cables etc. It appears that the dac in the anthem is very good as well. I'm wondering if it is good enough to skip buying a bel canto dac 3 for my digital music. My plan was to connect my apple tv to the bel canto, then to the pre/pro. Could the dac in the anthem d2 be close to a standalone unit such as the dac3?
Anthem D2 or Lexicon MC12
I am looking to upgrade my pre/pro. Money not considered, which pre/pro would be more desirable. I thought I had made up my mind on the lexicon, planning on adding a dvdo video processor and a bel canto dac for digital music. The Anthem D2 looks like it could perform both those functions well. I'm a little skeptical the dac would perfomr as well but it appears the the video processing would. Any input is greatly appreciated.
