Will a Proceed AMP handle LPCM input?


Does anyone know if the Proceed AVP will process linear pcm input? Namely, if I have a PS/3 decode the HD/Master Audio tracks, send them down the HDMI cable to a splitter/ssp which sends the audio output to coax/toslink to the AVP, can the AVP process the signal?

If the AVP can do, I'm sure the AVP2 can as well.

Thank you,

Tim,

My PAV/PDSD pair has been trouble free for well over a decade. It does not process lossless codecs, but does 5.1 surround with excellent sound and bass management. If you can take HDMI video to your monitor/TV, I'd use that rather than component video.

Tim,

I should have mentioned that the PAV takes balanced or unbalanced analog stereo and passes its output unmolested through the PDSD. The PDSD takes coax or optical digital sources. Output from the PDSD is balanced or unbalanced.

Db,

I have a question for you that I'm sure is in the manual and if you want to send me there that is cool. But looking at pics on ebay of the pav/pdsd, it is not clear to me - how do you connect them together?

Tim,

A cable that looks rather like a phone line links the two, and they need to be linked to function. If you buy a pair, make sure it comes with that cable. We used our PAV/PDSD for both music and HT audio. I think you would be pleased with the sound quality these units can deliver.

Does the audio signal ride from the PAV to the PDSD via that interconnect cord? In other words, if I have an analog source connected to the PAV but the amps all connected to the PDSD how does the analog signal get to the PDSD.

And as I type this question I realize, I have no analog sources at this time. But there is always the thought of a turntable.
