IIRC, the later Proceed AV units have digital capabilities, where as the PAV is only analog and requires a separate PDSD if you want digital. That might account for the difference in sales time on Audiogon. I replaced a PAV/PDSD with a Cary Cinema 11a in order to get HDMI, DSD, and surround with SACDs. I think the Cary sounds about as good, maybe a bit better, than the Proceed, but both are at a different level than, say, an Integra 80.1, a processor I found attractive for its many features but its audio quality didn't do it for me. The Proceed PAV/PDSD are now in my living room setup.
