Kenny, you burst my bubble on the Harmony 1000

... my 10 yr old son wanted it too.
Two questions:
1) Regarding the Proceed AVP2, do you think it's dacs can make it come reasonably close to SQ of the Esoteric if I feed it digital from my Pioneer dv47a as transport?
2) Given my system, if you had to choose between adding one of the pre/pros we've discussed (and keeping the Pio dv47a as CDP/transport) or adding the Esoteric dv50 (and keeping the Pio vsx49tx as pre), which would you do?
