Proceed PAV as a two channel preamp..

I have the opp to buy a Proceed PAV preamp/processor with original box, manual and remote for about $650.00.

I won't get to hear it, the seller would simply show up at my door, would hand me this unit and walk away with $650.00 in his pocket.

I will be using it in two channel mode only for now, was wondering about it's sound quality.

Can this be upgraded to dolby digital if needed?

As a used unit, could there be issues that I should be aware of?

Your input would be truly appreciated,
audiomaster

It is an exceptional sounding unit that holds up to today's standards in my opinion. It had a companion box called the pdsd to gain Dolby digital capability. The PAV needs to be running a specific firmware to talk to the pdsd, so you really should not rely on finding a pdsd down the road.

I have seen dozens of these trade for under $500, so unless the one you are considering is museum condition with original everything I would pass.
