Opinions on using a Proceed AVP for 2-channel stereo only?

Is there another older DSP preamp that would be equally good for just 2-channel stereo? Or should I stay with this this preamp?

(1) is there a particular reason that you are focused on using an AV preamp for strictly 2-channel audio performance? Or is it a case that (2) you have a multichannel AV system with this AVP and it is used only occasionally for a 2-channel audio event? Even a modest quality build "built-for-just a 2-channel" system piece (either a pre-amp/power amp combo or an integrated amp) will smoke an AV multi-channel unit performance-wise in a 2-channel audio experience,
