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.

Anthem D2!

Go to AVSFORUM.com and use the internal search engine to follow threads on both choices.

The Athem crowd is really happy with this unit, as am I. Wait until you see how it upconverts standard Satellite broadcasts. While the result is certainly not HD, at least you will still be able to tolerate standard broadcasts.

Just read the last 25% of the posts. Some of the earlier ones were about issues since resolved.

The dac in the D2 is one of the true highlights of the system: you don't need another pre under any circunstances.
