Nuforce has updated their highly regarded AVP-16 pre/pro with the newly listed AVP-17.

 

Known for it's great sound and spartan feature set, the AVP-16 was highly regarded as a music lover's pre/pro that wouldn't break the bank. The AVP-17 appears set to carry on that tradition as the only evident change is a new chassis design.

 

Nuforce rocked the AV web forums with their inexpensive AVP-16 pre/pro, a pre/pro that, along with Audio Refinement's Pre-2 DSP, was highly regarded as the answer to a poor audiophile's prayers for an inexpensive pre/pro that would handle home theater duty, but had music performance that far exceeded it's paltry price tag. The AVP-17 would perhaps have been better designated the AVP-16b.

 

As to whether or not Nuforce has plans for a pre/pro that adds support for newer Dolby and DTS codecs and HDMI, we'll just have to keep waiting.
