Well, I sold my pre2 to Jfacker. Very good surround decoding and excellent autodetection for DD/DTS (no audio dropouts). A very simple no frills pre with great sound. If you need bells and whistles (Variable crossover frequency below 80Hz, DD6.1) then look elswhere. If you are looking for great DD5.1/DTS and exceptionaly good 2 channel bypass then definately look at this unit. I have moved to a dedicated 2 ch. pre and seperate processor (Pass X1/ Meridian 565) and that was the reason for moving away from the Pre2DSP. If you are banking on manufacturer upgrades, I would pass. It may happen, but if it does not or is at a price you do not like you will be out of luck.
audio refinement pre 2 dsp
Anybody have any direct experience with this new Audio Refinement AV/Preamp called the Pre2 DSP? Price is attractive although it does not have the dolby pro logic II..it can be had through upgrade at some point in the future according to the company propoganda. For a new product from a company such as this it appears attractive when compared to the Outlaw 950 (yes, substantially cheaper but it is not from YBA/Audio Refinement).
I've been able to find nothing on this product other that store ads.
