Original AVP2 +6.

Very simple, yet, easily adjustable as desired. Balanced analog in's and outs for front L/R and center. Digital AES and glass inputs, plus multi-channel inputs/ouputs.
Matching 5 channel with both balanced and unbalanced inputs, switchable.
200 watts per channel, 2-ohm stable, damping 250 at 20Hz.
This transport is system-matched to the Proceeds' DAC's and amps. It's connected through Mogami Gold AES/EBU. My hopes have been exceeded. Clean digital synergy has greatly improved. This was proof to me that a system-matched transport can make a major difference. I hope this experience helps others to take time and carefully consider system-matched component decisions. The OPPO remains connected for multi-channel audio and HDMI video.
After 5 years or so this unit has bitten the dust. Update: Not yet, OPPO saved my 981!

- 20-Amp wall units 110 volt 20 AMP
Purchased at a commercial electrical supply business. One for each front main speaker, and one for the Proceed AMP 5. I definately hear a better sense of ease and better mid to low bass. The surrounds connected to the AMP 5 are on lengthy cables - both the mids and bass definately improved. Very surprising results and easy to do.
